Hello

I love my OP39 but I sometimes wish it had a date.

I was considering a DJ41, but then I wanted something without PCL, and wasn't super keen on a conical or fluted bezel.

So what's the closest other ROLEX that comes to mind - around 40mm, brushed oyster bracelet, domed bezel, date?

Cheers

If you don’t mind 36mm purchase a 5 digit older Datejust oyster bracelet with smooth bezel or engine turned Bezel.

What about the DJ36 on a jubilee?

DJ has PCL and the Jubilee makes it a bit more blingy. I want a plain brushed oyster bracelet (and I don't want to go swapping bracelets and stuff). Also, 36 is a bit small - I tried that on.

thanks but 36 i feel is a bit small for me (I've tried it on). Having said that, do you have any recommended reference numbers of the above pls?

Yes, 16264 Thunderbird. It wears larger than 36mm because of the bezel.

Me too! The bezel on the 41 looks too big.

How about a 5 digit sea dweller?

Reason: added 'ROLEX' so nobody recommends a Grand Seiko (which they still will)
