Datejust 41 on Jubilee SO MUCH LIGHTER than Explorer
I was really amazed when trying on a DJ41 on Jubilee last weekend. It was significantly lighter in weight and also thinner than my Explorer. And (of course) it has a date AND 70 hours power reserve...
Really digging the DJ41 now, I feel won over. I cannot let go and am considering to sell my Explorer and pick up a DJ41. Just wanted to share how important it is to try watches “in the flesh”.

Interesting, I wonder what the actual weights are if you measured both and how much is down to the Jubilee bracelet

My DJ41 on jubilee is one of the most comfortable watches I own.

It's all about the feel for me! I own 116719, 116618, 1166660, various AP's, though I only wear one of my 16710's, the ultimate watch for me in every way.

It is light, especially the smooth bezel.
But...I would add, don't flip unless you absolutely can't do it. The DJ and an EXP would be a killer combo, IMO. |

I am with you and went even further to pick up the 36 dj jubilee as the daily watch.

My DJ41 on oyster is just 130g, sized to a 6.5" wrist.
Comfy! |

I have one on my DJ 41 and liked it so much I put a SJ on my GMTII. The wearability completely changed for the better. I’d get one for my Sky if they were a available
