Had mine 8 months now as a daily.

Barely gets noticed (or commented on at least).



A few minor scratches on clasp.

None on the bezel of note.

Far fewer show with the jubilee that on my BLNR on the oyster

Love the Gray dial - excellent combo

It's far more comfortable than the BLNR too. Hence why it is now the daily.

If I had to keep only one it would be this DJ.

Am seriously thinking of shifting the BLNR for another DJ - Fluted Wimbledon on Oyster. Although it's the same model, it would be a very different watch.

Sometimes I regret not going for the fluted right away. Most of the time though the smooth is perfect. The jubilee adds a little flash, but not too much.

Nope, blue for me the whole time. It replaced a OP39 blue -wanted a date- so always blue

All day every day.. a perfect watch that goes with every occasion

Stopped into my AD today. Tried a 36 and a 41 on to get an idea of size. They didn’t have the exact configuration I would want. Surprisingly 41 SS Datejust are limited - never would have thought a DJ would be limited.

Leaning towards the 41 at this point. While I like the 36 - it’s just a tad small for my taste.

Now the debate is smooth or floored bezel.

Really don’t know what to do here.

Cost isn’t a huge factor but $2k for a bezel is a decent amount. Hmmmm...

Reposting some pics.

Jim, my money is on the fluted. With a DJ, it's the classic. Let us know either way, they all look great!

The fluted and jubilee will hide scratches better long term. And you can't go wrong with classic.

The smooth bezel/oyster looks a bit more sporty/modern.

The smooth bezel with the jubilee is a nice middle ground though.

The fluted bezel and oyster combo would be my last choice IMHO.

I daily a blue dj41, stunning watch, just right, extremely versatile, classy and comfortable. Can get noticed at times due to its shine, cyclops etc. but not in an uncomfortable way as it's not a look at me watch. And sure it may pick up a few scratches here and there but it's worth it, these watches are meant to be worn and enjoyed

I've had mine for 10 months now and I wear it pretty regularly in my rotation. I think I'm pretty easy on all of mine but I don't baby them or worry about scratches. It has some hairlines on the clasp of course.

Agree 100%. That's my choice and a bargain when compared to something like the Z Blue Milgauss. Here in Australia the DJ smooth on a jubilee costs AUD$9900. The Explorer is $8700 though, which is also a solid buy.
