Datejust Decision
 
Hi Team - sold my DJ2 Wimbledon because I couldn't see the dial. I picked up a roadster...and I love it. Was contemplating getting my grail which WAS DD36 Roman...but tried it on and couldn't like the size. Tried the 40...not the same!

So...I'm back to DJ. I've short listed down to 2 options as option I really want doesn't exist (DJ2 TT White dial Romans), so settling for next best:
1. TT rose

2. TT gold with black dial Romans

https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/datej...US&SETCURR=USD

Any opinions?

Buy both if you cannot decide

I’d personally go with 1, Not a fan of yg on a datejust

I slightly lean towards 1, but worried about rose gold and visibility of the dial. I wore gold TT dj for 15 years...so I know I would like it.

Here was my old one. I loved it...in the daylight.

Either looks great. I’d lean towards 1. Why not the DJ 41 black with sticks. One of my easiest watches to read.

I like yours, too, Houston.

Am a rose gold guy, and prefer sticks on dial... and the dial is easier to read imho so #1

Some watches of past...

Also, had a sub 16610. Can you believe no pics? I guess it didn't happen then! May as well be so, as I didn't own it but for about 6 months.

Why not try the TT DJ2 Ivorŷ Dial with Batons. It looks like a white dial most of the time, in more subdued lighting, the Ivory Dial complements the Gold perfectly.
Heres mine with is stable mates.

I like these. I would buy this watch if it had gold Romans.

In the end, I chose THIS! Ha! I just was hesitant about rose gold. I bought mine new from a dealer off chrono24...the watch arrives Thursday. I will lost a proper incoming once it arrives.
