Incoming! After much ummming and arrring!
Hello all,
I was recently in the dilemma of either buying the Rhodium or Blue... (first world problems) https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=646273 I decided to go ahead with the Rhodium.. spoke to the AD. They got it all arranged in its coffin etc waiting for me on arrival with a nice cup of tea... I get there and I ask to see the Blue just so I know I'm doing the right thing. As I'm 100% convinced that the Rhodium is the right one! Nope... I see the blue... and in today's light I am absolutely drawn to it... TLDR: I bought a blue DJ41! Plus got some nice freebies... Gloves... Magazine... Green Rollerball Pen in a lovely box. Rolex transport box. All stickers left on watch.... tags... warranty card everything for the watch. 2 extra links for free! And they even paid for my parking... £5! Fantastic service... Hugh Rice @ Hull, England. Cant bring myself to take the stickers off yet! Tomorrow! hahaha Pictures:

Congratulations, great choice.
This thread underscores why you’ve got to see them in person to make the right choice

Congrats!!! There is no right answer but what's right for you. Personally I think the blue dial is more interesting and versatile. Here is my DJ 11 and I absolutely love it!!!

I think you made the right choice. I think that's the most handsome Datejust Rolex is making right now. Congrats!

Those Rolex pens are actually quite nice, too. Was nice of them to take good care of you.

Congrats, I had voted for blue on your previous thread. I think the branded freebies are a regional thing, I’ve never seen anything Rolex branded at my dealer other than catalogs and the green delivery shopping bag(which they put inside a more discreet brown bag).
I did get a Wolf single winder with my latest purchase. |

Great choice, I wanted to comment earlier but i had no input even though i have a slate roman dial and love it. Such a tough choice, couldnt go wrong but you nailed it. Congrats, The DJ41 is a fantastic choice for any collection.
