Need some datejust 41 with Roman pics

I'm thinking about mixing it up a bit and getting a datejust with romans. Does anyone have any 41 pics? Preferably fluted/jubilee, but I'll take what I can get. I think I'm torn between the white and azzurro blue. In theory I think I'd like the blue since I plan on getting a white daytona, you know, when my name comes up on the list in 1-10 years :), but also am not sure how the lighter shade looks in different lighting.

As said before, any pics would be much appreciated!

Dial looks great in different lighting conditions and angles. Really pretty watch.

Thanks!
So the dial does get a touch darker in certain lighting? All the pics I feel I've seen so far seem to have the dial as a touch darker than aqua, but that second one looks quite awesome!

Yeah, it does change depending on the lighting. Looks brighter and lighter in sunny environments to a deeper and darker blue indoors. It was a bit more youthful looking than the darker blue with baton markers, even though that was pretty as well. Personally, I really like the white dial with Roman markers that was released the same time as the azure blue Roman version.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with the Datejust 41. It's a great watch in all of its variations.

I've tried on all the variants - not really my thing.

I don't like the random one stick of lume. Same reason I'm getting rid of my OP 39...if it were all white gold markers, I'd like it. But the three lume sticks, I don't know, I can't stop staring at them...in a bad way.

I like the white dial quite a bit as well, and actually am supposed to get the fluted/jubilee/sticks when it comes in...but I started second guessing if I wanted 2-3 white dial watches (I also love the silver snoopy and may need that at some point).

How come you chose the blue over the white/roman?

I love the Roman's on my Wimbledon dial and that Azzurro blue is stellar. For some reason on the white dial I prefer the Roman's over the sticks on a DD but not on the DJ41. Different tastes I guess but you cant go wrong. Happy Choosing...

It’s funny how you mention the random lummed marker. It’s interesting because I’ve contemplated a Roman numeral numbered dial a few times over the years but for me it is the 4. Or the IIII.

Every time I look at a Roman numeral dial, I look at the IIII and I wonder why it is not a IV.

I contemplated starting a thread several times asking why they use 4-I’s instead of IV. Someone has to know the answer.

Love romans with a fluted bezel. Classic a bit more formal? The Azzuro varies in color so much.

Sure thing! It doesn’t photograph as well as it looks. Stone cold stunner in person and on.

I had not paid much attention to the white roman dial because I thought it looked somewhat bland on the Rolex website but, after your photos, I'm suddenly interested in that combination. I wouldn't mind seeing more photos of that watch while I'm searching for the real thing in a nearby AD (which might take a long time).

Here’s both oyster and jube while I was at the AD.

Was recently offered a white dial, fluted, jubilee with roman numerals. Stunning in person trust me, but passed because it was a tough time for me.

DJ41s are getting hard to come by nowadays but drop by your local AD, make yourself known as a local and they'll give you a call usually within 2 weeks.

Goodluck on your hunt!

Thank you for the stunning pictures, it’s a beautiful watch and on the jubilee, looks class.

I did start a thread a couple of weeks ago about selling my white Daytona and replacing with a Sub ND and a white Roman numerals DJ, and I know think I’m convinced that this is the way to go.

I totally agree, the way the sunlight catches on the Roman numerals, much better than how it looks on Rolex website.

I love romans, had my Wimbledon for a year now. I stopped to visit my AD yesterday and was offered an Azzurro but cant do fluted/jubilee, too dressy for me. It won't hit the case, probably gone now by a phone call. No lume on hands like the white (nbd) but what a Beautiful blue! thinking....

I was told the same thing yesterday about the azzurro. She flat out said she was not allowed to put it in the case. My AD saved both for me to check out yesterday, and I originally thought that's what I was going with, but the white's siren song was too much to resist.

I'll see if I have any azzurro pics I can put up, too.

That was part of the appeal: clean, classy, timeless. White will never go out of style.
