Congrats on your new DJ, it looks great!

Thanks for sharing all the pics. I've been contemplating one myself, since I don't own any of the new movements.

I was excited to have been invited to a Baselworld preview show earlier this week, particularly as I've been awaiting this watch since the DD40 came out last year. I've debated a white dial vs blue DJII for years & was certain that I'll be deciding one of those 2 colors for the DJ 41.

However first look at the rhodium dial & I'm in love! I'm fairly certain the gray dial DJ 41 will be my next watch! (I may also get the blue dial as well)

Haha. I think I've read others saying just the opposite about proportions. Eye of the beholder......

And it is a stunner. I always thought DJ fluted was too flashy and smooth too plain. I dig this one.

Love this DJ41. May be my next watch.

Question for you - just saw one of these in person today and loved the rhodium dial. Sounds like you also saw a fluted and jubilee but didn't love it. Thoughts on how fluted/oyster combination would look? I'm not a fan of the jubilee, but do like the fluted bezel.

But it may be that your combination is my favorite.

I pointed out the difference between the DJII and DJ41 that they had sitting next to each other in the case, I also showed him the 12 series part number and he still insisted that "they havent got the new ones in yet"

I tried it on and it looked great but I walked away scratching my head about how that guy was their "Rolex" guy.

As a general advice: don't take picture from that near distance, it distorts how the watch really looks like from a 3rd person perspective.

I did see this dial with flutted ans oyster. I also saw it with jubilee and flutted. I did like flutted and oyster more than I thought I would. Much much better IMO than the DJ II flutted bezel. I thought the flutted on the DJ2 was just way too big. All will come down to when you swe them both side by side

I ordered this exact configuration, myself! You have fine taste. :-p

Seeing yours makes me that much more excited to receive mine. I'm expecting a call any day now!

Good luck with it! Wear it in good health.
