For me it's the blue stick dial %100 - I'm not a fan of the Wimbledon dial at all, but taste is very subjective and one should know what their own preference is. Screen Shot 2023-06-27 at 11.07.30 PM.png

Not a fan of the Wimbledon, but if it sings to you by all means get it. I'm on the list for a DJ41 in Mint Green or Blue and prefer the cleaner look, plus the dials change nicely with the light. Good luck and let us know how it works out. Cheers

The DJ41 Dilemma - Blue or Wimbeldon?
Easy one: Wimbledon much >>>>>> than blue! It stands out from the crowd. The first time I saw it, I was wowed, so when offered it unexpectedly, I jumped at the chance. Mine, of course, is the 36.

Picked up today
After a short wait picked up this DJ41 in Azzurro Blue 126300 from my local AD. It is my first Rolex and I am more than excited.

Stunning pics of your DJ41. Love it. Definitely a tough one. However, the only good part is I will have the option to check and try both these pieces with my AD as he has managed to arrange for both. I guess eventually it will come down to which one makes me go wooooo the moment I try it on. |

Nice one, Kat! Just a quick question, when you say 'stands out from the crowd' is it primarily because of the dial? Or the TT? |

Exactly! The best part of both blue and green of how well they 'behave' under different lightings. Especially the blue, which looks much darker and gives a timeless/classic look under darker environments as well. Would love to see how both the blue and the wimbledon look especially under less lighting. |

While this is going to be a brand new watch, do I still need to ask or check the manufacturing year, etc.? Does this matter? Any such info will be helpful. Thanks!

I love the blue dial and my wife loved the Wimbledon - we now have both and share them both. You can't go wrong with either.

So finally got a call from my AD on Wednesday. Got everything ready Friday and visited the store on Saturday to pick up my first ever DJ41. It wasn’t an easy decision by any means, but once I tried on the Wimbledon, I was sold. A great buying experience overall. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

Very happy for you. I chose the Wimbledon as well. Maybe if it was one and done I’d go blue but I have a collection and the dial of the Wimbledon is much more unique and fitting for a collection
