Datejust, choices have to be made

Hi all,

I have a hard time choosing between these configurations. This is 126334 (DJ41, fluted on oyster) vs 126300 (DJ41, smooth on jubilee) vs 126200 (36mm).

I can currently try those three versions. The 41s feel great, but the 36 is very light and discrete, but lacks the legibility of the 41s. I plan to keep 2 of these.

Given my wrist size, which 2 do you think I should keep ?

Buy a 36 fluted and be done. Looks a great size for you.

They all look really great on you. The 126334 fluted is very stylish keep that and if you have to take another the 126200 (36mm) 2nd choice because the first two are very similar.

36 looks good on your wrist. Fluted/domed, oyster/jubilee is a personal choice.

I personally think that the bottom (36, domed, oyster) looks the best of those three in those pics.

36mm looks tiny on you. I'd just keep the 41mm fluted. Don't see a need to keep multiple.

I think the 41 looks best on you. 36 looks too small for your wrist. If you have a fluted bezel I personally like the jubilee bracelet on it.

As much as I like my DJ41 in smooth blue jubilee config, move the Jubilee to the fluted watch and keep it and the 36. You'll have all bases covered.

Keep the 41’s but change up the dials?

Mine arrived yesterday.

I waited a while for this combination.

Datejust is synonymous with fluted bezel. If you have other jubilees go oyster, if you have oysters, go jubilee. Have any colored pieces? Go blue. Like monochrome? Gray is stunning.
