Which do you prefer?
Which one do you like best?
Why? All three actually have the same diameter. About 39mm, although they officially say the Datejust is 41mm. PS. I like the Datejust in this configuration. Striated bezel and jubilee |

I prefer the Date Just as I think it is versatile watch that can be dressed up or down depending on what you want to do.

Without doubt DJ. I love the black dial. I have the blue smooth in jubilee, but love all of them, to me they look best on jubilee, and probably WH bezel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

DJ. Can always get the less dressy one with a smooth bezel (noticing the others have smooth as options)

Equal money, I’d go DJ.
But given the real world pricing differences, I think the OP is a heck of a great watch! I have the white and love it. |

DJ41 for me, thought the Jubilee and fluted was too much but it really works, blue dial is my top choice.

None of those are on my radar, but they are probably the only ones available at the AD

Although there are so many factors that go into this decision (what else do you have in your collection, what is it intended for, lifestyle, etc) I will give you my take.
I would go for the DJ. It is the perfect one and only watch for any collection. The configuration you have is classic and perfect. It wears well and has enough sparkle for a classy situation, and enough of a "sports" look to be casual with shorts and a t-shirt. Depending on your wrist size, I would go 41 or 36 (I do find the 36mm size classy) but for me, I would pick the DJ out of these options. |

I prefer the Explorer between those choices. I'm a tee and jeans kinda guy, so it better suits my style.

Honestly, of those three, I'm really impressed with the OP.
It's just a very clean, refined look.

I picked up the Explorer and never looked back. Great watch. Can't go wrong with any of those choices though.

Number two... The Jubilee with the fluted bezel is a bit much for me and the Explorer is bloated since they moved to 39mm. The OP is perfect just the way it is.

It is a pity that our beloved 116900 Airking is not an option to choose :)
Voted DJ because of the date function.

The Datejust is the "Rolex" to most of the world. Instantly recognized, options in size, dial, and bracelet. Can't go wrong with the Classic.

All beautiful, all essentially do the same thing. Explorer for me though, if only owing one piece as I think it to be the most versatile/best blend of sport and class.
