Personally, o think the DJ is beautiful, but Rolex sports line is always the way to go. I’d say Explorer 100% unless you need something flashy on the wrist.

I agree about the sizing – I think it looks perfect on your wrist, and I have about a 6.75" wrist, which is why I'm a tad leery of going with the DJ41 (although I tried one on and it didn't wear nearly as gargantuan as I thought, and as others have pointed out, it's actually a 40).



Heh, that's the thing – it's pretty much a dead heat! I honestly don't know which I want. If anything, I'm leaning towards the DJ if only because I'm nigh on certain that pretty soon I'll only be able to get it with Oysterclasp.



See above – this might be under consideration for me if not for the clasp action. The only other minor niggle I have with the DJ41 – and it is minor – is that the 36's roman numerals outside the hour batons were replaced with arabic minute markings. For some reason, the roman numerals just look better to my eyes on that dial.
I couldn’t agree more. I like but don’t own the Explorer, but I had to get 36mm Datejust because the Arabic numerals don’t look as good to me as the track with Romans in it. I also wanted the hidden clasp in a big way, and couldn’t be happier with it.

Another great thing to me is the roulette date wheel on the Blue DJ36 it entertains me every second day to see a little splash of red on the otherwise blue face!

My vote would be sell the OP and get the other two, but with an emphasis on the DJ on Jubilee.

I voted for DJ36 but I can see myself picking Option No. 3 as well.

...lol I'm one of the two or however many people on this forum who isn't drawn to the Daytona. I think I like the mutts (this thread notwithstanding).
