Always looking for a dress watch. I locked my eyes with Datejust 36 with fluted with Jubilee. Now the dilemma is between a Bright blue Fluted motif and Bright blue.

I got the offer from my nice AD with Bright blue. But they both look nice. Any ideas? Much obliged.

brandrea · 14 February 2022, 02:56 AM

I haven’t seen the textured dial in person so I really have no first hand experience.

That said, I think the textured dial is beautiful, but maybe a bit too busy with the jubilee and flutted bezel

IamJacky · 14 February 2022, 03:03 AM

I saw an exhibition model of the fluted motif dial and it's quite stunning; personally I would prefer it to be on a less busy bezel and bracelet, which is smooth/oyster, just as I would with the palm motif; but I understand if one likes the shinny effects of the whole watch, then going with motif/fluted/jubilee is the way to go.

ryangambrill · 14 February 2022, 03:03 AM

I am having the same question. Best to see both in person to make a decision.

If it is a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet, I prefer the less busy (but beautiful) bright blue. Fluted bezel + fluted dial + jubilee is sensory overload. IMO the fluted motif dial is best on a plain bezel/oyster bracelet combo.

MichelleP · 14 February 2022, 03:27 AM

I love the fluted motif. That would be my pick

Bigmozza · 14 February 2022, 03:29 AM

The combo there in is what I would choose, fluted bezel jubilee bracelet and blue motif dial stunning, not a fan of smooth bezel it scratches really easy so not for me, good luck.

Feb_29 · 14 February 2022, 04:04 AM

Judging by the pictures provided, it's Bright blue Fluted motif for me.

Gekota · 14 February 2022, 04:07 AM

I like the basic silver sunburst dial best, but if I had a choice of bright blue, I would pick the motif bright blue.

subprimero · 14 February 2022, 04:21 AM

From photos, the bright blue. I think the motif would be better on a smooth/Oyster DJ.

I just bought the fluted, jubilee, blue 36. Plenty of flash and in my opinion adding the motif to this would result in too much going on.

Mags01 · 14 February 2022, 04:33 AM

I went to order the fluted blue dial last month and was told I can have it only if I order it with a diamond bezel.

han_solo · 14 February 2022, 06:02 AM

Thank you guys, looks like most of you think the motif is a bit too busy. I will have a look at it tomorrow. I will post pics on my wrist in this thread. Please help me pick one.

I hope this would also help you with your pick. Cheers.

Bsmith73 · 14 February 2022, 06:06 AM

I like the textured dial.

pedersenkl · 14 February 2022, 06:36 AM

I’ve been debating the exact same two. Interested to see your photos on the wrist of the motif dial. It is a beautiful dial via photos and unique. But, like others, I wonder if it is too busy when combined with a jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel.

mattidk · 14 February 2022, 07:12 AM

i prefer the fluted dial just my taste but both look amazing.

han_solo · 14 February 2022, 07:33 AM

I stand corrected, The ad told me that the bright blue is mine if I want. The motif is only for me to see. What with that???... �� Besides, the motif is getting more favors.

ltmgeller · 14 February 2022, 08:22 AM

The fluted motif is stunning

joli160 · 14 February 2022, 10:28 AM

The fluted dial is the prettiest dial they made since a long time

han_solo · 16 February 2022, 04:00 AM

Fluted, Bright blue would be my choice.

bradastra · 16 February 2022, 04:04 AM

For a "dress" watch I'd personally go with the more understated non-motif dial.

Driver8 · 16 February 2022, 04:07 AM

Waaaaay too much going on for me with the textured dial, Jubilee and fluted bezel.

Sometimes less is most definitely more. This is one such occasion IMO.

Mags01 · 16 February 2022, 04:10 AM

Did you take home the bright blue dial then?

OrangeSport · 16 February 2022, 04:40 AM

Bright blue is nicer

DJ is not a dress watch

CoveWatch · 16 February 2022, 05:41 AM

I'd go with the fluted if you can because its different.

han_solo · 16 February 2022, 05:42 AM

I wanted DJ to be my dress watch. Besides DJ (and, of course, CELLINI), does Rolex have any other watch more dressy?

han_solo · 16 February 2022, 05:43 AM

Not yet... I have until Friday to decide.

han_solo · 16 February 2022, 05:46 AM

I think you could be right! A bit of shame that AD didn't have fluted / motif / Jubilee to see.
