DJll configuration

Hey all!
I’m looking to add a DJll

I’m leaning tword oyster/fluted/slate

I’ve flipped through probably a thousand posts on DJ2 topics bust can’t seem to find this configuration. Anyone have a pic on wrist?

Blue dial is also in the cards... but I already have a 13LB so it might be overkill on the blue.


Would be my first fluted bezel. I know some say fluted is a little flashy, I really don’t care about that aspect. But how is the durability?

I've got one, for the latter. One can never have too much blue!

Flashy? A bit. But, it's classic design. Durability is as good as anything else. Depends on how hard you are on them. It can take it and a service can always restore it.

Happy hunting!

There was a post on The forum that showed a chart of the dial combinations available for 116333 and 116334. If you want 116334 SS model it may be that the slate roman dial was not available for SS, only TT which is the 166333 reference. Sorry can't find the post that has the chart in it. As far as fluted bezel goes, it is great, but also a personal choice.

Thanks. And to answer your earlier question, go with the fluted. You won't regret it. I started with the smooth bezel and quickly grew bored of it. Flipped for a fluted and have never regretted it for a second. It is flashier than the smooth bezel but not in a bad way, just adds some pizazz without being obnoxious. And as far as durability it does WAY better than the smooth bezel at hiding scratches and dings.

For color I started with blue smooth, flipped for blue fluted, and five years later have zero regrets on the color. The blue is striking and gives it a sporty vibe. Highly recommend the blue batons.

That’s sparking a memory for me as well, too bad though that combo would be a killer.

I’m a huge fan of DJII. I would recommend blue or black dial.
