Finally bought my DJ41 and went for black !

So my ad phoned me 2 days ago and said she got a blue and a black in the delivery, I couldn’t get in till today and they can only hold a watch for 24hrs.
I phoned her yesterday to ask to hold both and I’d be in today and the blue had already been sold and the black was on hold till 4pm for another client.
That client didn’t turn up so at 4pm she phoned me and I told her to hold it and went in today.
They had lots of blues in different configurations so I was able to get a good look at it but I decided the black was a better option for me.
Thanks all for your comments on my other posts.
It’s been a bit of a saga but I’m very happy with the black.
I will post pics of someone tells me how to from an iPhone.

Congrats! Black is very versatile. What combination did you get? Fluted, smooth, oyster, jubilee? Pictures are always appreciated by the peanut gallery...

Had black, switched to blue just because I really love the blue color, but black was amazing as well. Either one works for me. Congrats!

If I can find out how to post from my phone I will.
Jubilee and smooth bezel.
Fluted although it’s very nice is a bit blingy for my liking on this particular watch.
I’ll keep the bling for my Breitling’s

Exactly what I did. But after doing it I find myself also missing the black. I have the fluted, so the black dresses up your smooth bezel more as well.

The thing with the blue was some angles I loved it but some I wasn’t keen at all, and with the black I like it from all angles.

I meant to ask about bracelet adjustment.
There are no links taken out of it and with the 5mm extension closed it’s a little tight and with it open it’s a little loose.
Is there more other adjustment ?
On all my other watches you can just move it to the next pin on the clasp but I can’t see that on this.

Can't go wrong with black. Most versatile color out there.

You made a great choice! I picked up that exact model back in July this year. I love it. Looks classy with the jubilee, but sportier enough to wear as a GADA on the smooth bezel. I hope you enjoy it! Congrats!

Yes, there are three micro-adjustment positions on the inside of the clasp near the easy-link extension, but you need a tool to make the adjustment. Your AD should be able to do this for you.
