126300 DJ41 smooth bezel... jubilee or oyster?

[sampelligrino]

Looking to buy the blue or mint green dial as a celebratory gift for a family member, but unsure of which bracelet! Likely worn in both casual and professional settings.. This would be his first Rolex...

Any thoughts or preferences?

Jubilee mint dial smooth bezel.

Jubilee is the classic.

Exact reason I went for this config. Can be worn all day everyday in any setting.

Smooth on oyster looks sporty, yet classic:

Can’t go wrong with any option really. Given you say it would be worn in casual and professional settings, the oyster would be my pick. Does depend on what bezel option you go with as well. I prefer a matched looked but there will be others where the opposite appeals more to them. While it might be their First Rolex, but do they own other watches and how might this piece complement their collection; could affect bracelet choice.

The if a Jubilee is an option, its always the preference

With that dial, this is a killer combo, IMHO.

For the blue, I would probably go fluted/jubilee or smooth/oyster.

I go back and forth between jubilee/smooth and jubilee/fluted but the bracelet is always jubilee. It’s insanely comfortable and works much better with a DJ than an oyster does imo. I’ve owned both.

If you want the oyster look, just save some shekels and get an OP instead of a DJ.

Thank you all for the responses so far, it's appreciated!

For sure I am *set* on smooth bezel, it's just a matter of 1) mint green vs blue dial and 2) jubilee vs oyster

As for OP vs DJ41, I've had an OP41 myself and it just didn't do anything for me personally, thinking DJ will be the better gift for this finance guy

If he’s a finance guy, go with oyster. Nice watch, not overly flashy. Better for his particular career, I think. Easier to get that combo from an AD, as well.

Have both a smooth on Oyster, and a smooth on Jubilee. Both are great options. Take your pick.

[prnceofpersia23]

I think the jubilee on smooth looks a little disjointed. Seems like it belongs with a fluted bezel.

My pick would be smooth/oyster. The polishing on the bezel works really well with the polished center links of the oyster. Looks like more of a match imho.

I honestly think you can't go wrong with whatever you pick. Just trust your gut!

Voted Oyster, why?

Simply because I have fallen out of love with the Jubilee bracelet. My DJ was purchased Smooth / Jubilee / Rhodium, initially I adored that combination as it gave me a sporty yet smart look, but over time the look of the jubilee bracelet on my wrist just didn't feel right.

As a result I purchased a new Oyster bracelet, had it sized and fitted at our Rolex AD, now I have the watch I want and if the mood takes me or the occasion demands I can swap bracelets (somehow I don't see that happening).

[MannyMann]

Fluted bezel will go with the Jubilee bracelet, while smooth bezel will be better with Oyster bracelet IMO.

[sampelligrino]

Just wanted to circle back, and thanks everyone for their input! It's true you gotta go with your gut

Went 1) mint green dial, 2) jubilee bracelet on smooth bezel for something unique and a bit different! Cheers!

Great choice

Jubilee is the way to go
