I would spend the 3500 on an omega, maybe a speedy, then you would have 2 cool watches, there is a mk1 39m explorer for 4K on the for sale section, just serviced.
I just think you should hold onto your dj2 |

That's a good deal. I'd do it.

I wouldn't. I'd keep the DJII and source a fluted bezel and just switch them out. Can probably be done for less than $1000.
Personally not a fan of the jubilee and I just traded my DD40 for a DD2 as I liked the size better. |

I've read (here) that changing out the bezel alone weakens the integrity of the watch and impacts resale

Not a fan of Omega only because I'm not knowledgeable on the brand as much and heard not as good resale?

Seems reasonable. I will tell you however that I traded my smooth bezel DJII for a used fluted bezel DJII and paid around $1,800 to do the trade. The one I picked up was in perfect mint condition and in way better condition than the one I traded in. So I would suggest you at least consider flipping for a DJII and saving some cash, unless you are dead set on the DJ41 with the jubilee.

One other thing I would suggest is taking a look at a jubilee bracelet and trying it on before you decide to go that route. I thought I wanted to do the same thing (flip to get a jubilee bracelet) but after looking at them I think the oyster looks a lot better - just one guy's opinion. I think the oyster bracelet and the thicker batons on the DJII give it a more youthful/sporty appearance

$5K for 2013 DJII w smooth bezel is a good offer, these are only going for $5K - $5.3K pre-owned. Some of the TDs here will offer you $4K-$5K for your DJII (depending on your patronage, condition, and papers).
The DJ41 Fluted at $8.5K is the current market average. So it's a fair-good deal. Plus, you're getting a Flutted Bezel, that's the way to go on a DJII or 41. Ironically, the DJ36 I do like in the smooth for some reason? I think because the bezel is nicely rounded?

Really good trade/price from an AD. I'd do the deal before they change their minds!
BTW- You will be so much happier with the new 41. The proportions are so much better than the II. |

Agree that the proportions is more desirable on the DJ41. They ordered it with no obligation and it'll take a few weeks. Once it is in I can do the trade that day.

One thing I will say is the blue dial doesn't seem to pop on the 41 like it does on other Rolex blue dials including the II. I tried on the Dark Rhodium and blue smooth bezel and walked out with the rhodium. I went in to get the blue. I also tried on the fluttet bezel blue dial and it was nice. Maybe it's the same dial as the II color wise and I was just more smitten by the rhodium. Guess you will see soon with a side by side.

your AD is being extremely fair on the trade-in and the new DJ41. I would do the deal! I had a DJ2 and now have a DJ41 on Jubilee and all I can say that the DJ41 works way better for me!

Buy a fluted off eBay and swap it out. They can be had for about $400. Use the $2,900 to go on vacation. When you're tired of the fluted again, you'll still have your dome to swap back. ;)

Trade value is good, imo. Not sure about the new piece cost though
