Lovely. I still think blue/fluted/jubilee is the best combo but I’d happily own both.

I should be able to work this out, but remind me Tony, is this a 36 or 41(39.5)? Thanks

It's the 41mm (that isn't), Colin.

Stunning looking watch. Stupid question (maybe) but does the fiuted bezel make it wear slightly smaller than the plain bezel? I've always imagined it would. I ask because I think the 41 might wear too large on me, but the 36 would be too small.

And apropos of nothing, I ordered some Adidas Tobacco trabs in a very similar colour this weekend:

I think it is the best dj out there in the nicest looking colour. Beautiful!

Thanks, Tony. Gives me hope that the DJ41 might actually be a watch I can pull off. Thinking of the Wimbledon, fluted with oyster. Need to try one on!

Very nice Kerry, I like the mint dial DJ's, they play with the light really nicely.

I would agree on all points except that a DJ has got to be in 36mm imv. The classic understated original size.

Completely biased of course as this is exactly what i bought. The nicest thing in the current Rolex range for me.

The size has to be proportional to the wrist and 36mm will suit some but be lost on others. Havjng a choice is great rather than being constrained allowing everyone to enjoy the DJ which is a luxury not afforded to many other models in the range.

Also, worth noting, for the umpteenth time, that the 41mm actually measures 39.5mm. I think a lot of people simply can’t get past the nomenclature.

True, however the slim bezel and more dial real estate serves to make it look larger than 39.5mm suggests.

But I assume no larger than a 40mm Explorer and essentially the same size as the 39mm Explorer (the one I do own)? I've never tried a DJ.

[To be fair Tony, the 39.5mm wasn't spelled out on this thread, and most aren't interested in Rolex minutiae.]

The DJ41 is a great watch. I had a TT one with champagne dial on a jubilee and really enjoyed wearing it. I know the TT isn't everyones cup of tea but I felt it just worked. The only drawback for me was gold hands against a champagne dial wasn't best for readability. I think if I'd had a different dial colour I'd still have the watch, TT and jubilee or steel and oyster.

I dont know, I'm not into explorers so never owned one to compare.
