Hello everyone,

New to the forum and would love your feedback on this please.

Planning to go for a dress watch, i.e. Datejust, to complement my 16622 and 116710LN.

I'm decided on the DJ41 with a smooth bezel on Jubilee, however, I'm torn between blue and black.

Blue offers me a new dial choice and I also find it to be the best looking.
However, I find black to be somewhat dressier/classier, so it delivers the most out of a dress watch, also giving it a pure classic look.

Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks!

Blue hands down. Half the time it will appear darker anyways.

JayHantz · 3 February 2020, 04:54 AM

Based on having a 116710LN, I would go with the blue dial.

timeisfathaoftruth · 3 February 2020, 04:56 AM

Blue, Baby, Blue, all the way!

RaZCaL · 3 February 2020, 04:58 AM

Agree with this since I own the 41mm DJ.

grimps · 3 February 2020, 06:17 PM

I have the Blue dial and it looks very dark or even black in poor light , you get a nice surprise when its sunny

Rori · 3 February 2020, 07:06 PM

So easy. Blue.
Blue because that amazing blue dial looks blue but also can look black at night. So to me there’s no other option than the Blue. Blue yes blue :-)))
PS: your 116710LN is black and it can be dressy too. Blue blue blue.

Blue all day. I have blue and it changes so much depending on the light. The transition from dark blue/black appearance to bright blue with sun shinning down is incredible.

Good like with your hunt

APPRF · 3 February 2020, 07:27 PM

Blue

teabags001 · 3 February 2020, 07:57 PM

1. Blue
2. Dark Rhodium

ArchMerlin · 3 February 2020, 11:12 PM

Blue for sure

Watchflair · 3 February 2020, 11:21 PM

Blue hands down-

R_Rated · 3 February 2020, 11:29 PM

Blue by a mile. The blue on the DJ has so much character and personality.

In my opinion some watches need certain colors or have colors to stay away from. DJ sweet spot is blue. Black is for Explorer I.

joli160 · 3 February 2020, 11:48 PM

Rhodium and with a Jubilee go fluted

Verdi · 4 February 2020, 12:11 AM

Blue! Good config btw. Smooth bezel and jubile is really nice!

scheneider · 4 February 2020, 12:21 AM
