This is how you Datejust 41

So, I did this first with my DJ41 Blue. It cost me $1500 to add the Jubilee bracelet. Stick with me for a moment, going back in time a bit I used to say that I would rather be punched in the nuts repeatedly for 5 minutes than own a two tone anything. Then one day I wandered into an AD and the only thing they had in the glass was a Bluesy. Boom, instant reversal of disposition. It took me about a month to actually pull the trigger, but what a fantastic watch.

Since I broke my TT water adding a TT DJ41 White was an easy progression. I knew the moment I ordered the TT DJ41 where I was headed. It took my AD about 5 weeks to come through, but I just added a TT Jubilee for that. I now have effectively 4 watch options. In hind sight I might have done the blue with a smooth bezel just to further mix it up, but I bought it first, no big deal. I really dig this setup. So much so that I may nuke a couple of pieces in my collection. I consider this a super versatile accessory setup. What do you think?

While they are not my fave DJ models, I absolutely love what you did to create so many options.

Congrats!
Really like the TT41. Your AD is pretty awesome for sourcing the extra bracelets for you

I think that is a great idea! You want a bit more sporty, and wear the Oyster. For a different look, the Jubilee. And with two totally different dial colors, you got a great collection. Just for fun, I wonder what the TT would look like on the all stainless steel Jubilee?

Well done!

Cheers,
Carl

What do you think?
Now that's descriptive.

Big TT fan here. I suspect a lot of the "haters" on the forum would feel the same if they ever got past their preconceived notions. Congrats on the DJ...very nice.

I"ll see if I can get a pic up later, but it doesn't really work(for me). The gold accents on the dial didn't do so well with the all stainless bracelet.

Nice ‘41 and you’ve got the best of both worlds going on there with the oyster and jubilee.

It’s a nice addition to give you the options and well worth the cost IMHO.

I have the TT Ivory Dial DJ2 which is similar to your TT’41 and I love it. Unfortunately, Jubilee isn’t an option for the DJ2 because they never offered it for that watch, but having worn a Pepsi on Jubilee for many years, it didn’t matter to me as I just grew bored of the jubilee look. One day that will probably change.

You’ve got a couple of nice watches there. Congrats.

I like all the options you have. I was also a no TT person until I got a Bluesy.
