Honestly, really prefer the simpler complication and dial of the DJ41. Everyone else here will go Daytona (which is a great piece too).

Me too. Never been a fan of the chrono dial except for the Paul Newman design which is now Tudor making it.
The DJ is pure beauty.

I am a huge Daytona fan but the DJ41 looks the best visually to me.

Shocked that the tide is finally turning on the daytona being overrated. The DJ is the nicer looking watch, IMO, and I have no skin in this game.

+1.

Daytona looks cluttered, and I bet hardly anyone ever uses its stopwatch function. DJ wins.

I do like blue dials and I do like the Daytona but for some reason the blue dial Daytona doesn’t do it for me! So DJ for me on this occasion.

We need a better photo of the Daytona (found online). In this photo I get why the datejust would be deemed the better looking. But on my arm would go for the Daytona. I could never make the datejust work for me. I like it on others and in photos, but for me have to have a sports watch.

Even a better photo doesn’t help me - I think this version really misses the contrast either in the outer circles of the subdials or the whole subdials. I’ve never thought about why this version doesn’t appeal but can now put my finger on it!

Know what you mean. I like it, not a huge fan of the red outline on the sub dials. Will be interesting if they come out with a ceramic FG Daytona.

Did you choose this photo because of all of the stickers?

This here is the one Daytona I want.

I don’t know, just did a quick search and like the way the dial looked a nice dark blue.

Lol I mean I didn’t put the stickers on! Just picked a random photo with a great blue dial. Others are welcome to add better photos! I don’t have the watch, so can’t help there. I didn’t even see the stickers.

No, I knew it wasn’t yours J, I was merely commenting on the look of the stickers. It would look great without them.

Someone mentioned it above, judging from photo only Id choose DJ41. Seeing both watches on wrist, Daytona.

I voted Daytona as far as "looks", but the DJ is far more legible.
