new datejust 41 vs older datejust 2?

[2109magnolia]

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and was wondering if anyone has any information about the newly introduced date-just 41 model? I'm thinking of purchasing the date-just 2 but wondering if this model is going to be phased out in the near future? I see the new model has the improved movement and jubilee bracelet option but still like the oyster bracelet and the dial options of the 2. Any feedback would be much appreciated! I'm thinking about purchasing in the next few months.
Thanks for your help,
Dave

The new model is only offered in steel and gold, so I assume the older alternatives are still on offer in stainless steel with the original bracelet. The Datejust is a big seller, it won't be restricted to the versions offered at Basel.
Best idea is to follow your heart, and buy what you like, They are all exceptional watches. In that sense there is no 'wrong' choice.

Do you want a jubilee or oyster bracelet?

I'm thinking oyster bracelet two tone and champagne dial with diamonds on the markers. I'm not sure I'm into the jubilee bracelet but I definitely want the 41 mil size! I feel it's got such a nice wrist presence. I own two other Rolex now a GMT master Pepsi and a two tone blue submariner which I love but want a watch for dressier occasions. Feel the sports watches don't look as good with suits and ties etc.

Disregard, my bad habit of not reading the date of the OP strikes again

I love that version of the two-tone date-just.

Ultimately, all models will be phased out or modified. It seems to run every 6 years or so. If you are buying a Rolex for keeps, at some point it will be replaced/upgraded/changed. You may not like the new models as much as what is available to you today.

When a watch sings to you and fits your needs, buy it.

People who flip watches may see it differently. My $.02.

I appreciate the advice! I'm in agreement. I will buy and hold onto this watch for many years and wear it and enjoy it so I guess who cares at that point if its discontinued or not.

Great choice then :) pics please! (I understand i have the watch lol)

I would go with the datejust ii, but that's only my preference. Even after having the date41 announced, i went and got a datejust ii. IMHO it looks better and the dials are better as well. I got the datejust ii TT black roman dial, trying giving a look, for me i think it looks amazing :)

[2109magnolia]

Congrats! Gorgeous watch. Funny but after much deliberation that's the exact watch I just decided on. Use it well. Hoping to get mine early next week.
Was considering champagne dial with stick markers but thought this was so elegant and classy! Great sweater and blazer/suit watch.

There is no lume on the roman numerals on the DJII, right?

The biggest cosmetic difference is the number of flutes on the bezel.

I think DJ41 is available on oyster too.

The new Datejust 41 has a new movement.

[japenney]

The date just 2 will be phased out. Depends on wrist size. If bigger wrist ID go datejust 2

I have the DJII, I like it quite a bit but i have the WG/Fluted Bezel version and it screams for a jubilee bracelet that was sadly never offered.

My first post after lurking is to agree exactly with this. What I really want is a Black roman fluted SS DJ2 jubilee. They don't seem like they're making it in the 41, and I couldn't find it in the DJ1.

So I sit here trying to decide between a Batman and a DJ 36 configured how I want it.

[Danny83]

Sounds you like the DJ 2 I would go for it

Hi all I wanted little advice buying Rolex ordered on Thursday and it came on Friday I know Rolex take week to 14 days to deliver I asked salesman he told me he requested and they delivered and what come in box is it 2 warranty card ? Does they stamp the card on sale ? And does it come with Rolex certificate ?
