I never paid attention until you brought it up. Now I can't un-see it. Ugly.

Andre Agassi would hate the watch initially. But after a couple years of seeing people enjoy it, he would give in and buy one so he could experience Wimbledon.

I think it's a cool looking dial but it's not the one I would choose for myself. I wish Rolex would release more dial options on both 36 mm and 41 mm DJs. Stick dials are nice but I miss the old tapestry and linen dials and I'd also like to see a few more roman dial options.

I pretty much exclusively wear it with dress or semi-dress clothing only rarely ever wearing it with short sleeve shirts.

Can I get some thougths and maybe a picture or two from any TRF owners out there? My preference is the SS fluted jubilee model, but would be happy to see photos of any configuration.

What are your thoughts on the dial? Do you still love it or have you grown bored with it over time? Do you like the colors and the roman markers? How about the 9 o'clock marker? Does it bother you? Have you grown to love it? Any other comments good or bad?

Thanks for the feedback
I'm not a DJ fan, but if I was to decide to get one, this would be it. I've seen it in person with the fluted bezel, and it's simply amazing.
And it's quite versatile.

I wish this was available for the 36mm one. Great dial.

Favorite Rolex I own. Have a Daytona and sub as well, but I wear this the most, prefer the jubilee bracelet over oyster.

That's a beauty! Any opinion one way or the other on the 9 marker?

It doesn’t bother me at all. I actually think it balances it out with the date wheel at the 3 o’clock.

It's one of my favorites but I doubt I ever buy it. There are a couple others I'd rather have.

I just got the same watch configuration and love it. Totally agree the stick balances the date wheel.

Tons of other options for dj faces for those who want something less unique...

Can’t post pics on this site due to dumb size restrictions...

Thoughts on Wimbledon DJ41???

I let go of a Sub C for this and have zero regrets.

Or do you like the marker and the symmetry it creates on the dial?


Those were my first thoughts from viewing online but now, I can’t imagine the watch without it. It balances the dial very well and I never notice.

Wow, gorgeous pictures. That dial really pops in certain light. Man I wish I could actually go see one in person somewhere. I think I would have to try one on first before I would commit to trading my DSII.

It could possibly be even better with a white dial.

Tried this one and it really looks good. I like the shiny bezel more than the fluted one.
