New Rolex on Friday.. Stuck between two.. opinions appreciated

Hey Guys

Picking up a new Rolex on Friday.. Deciding between the 2 below .. so no other suggestions necessary.

My First was a BLNR purchased last year.. Great Watch. Came across an investment opportunity .. sold a few toys .. no big deal it worked out in my favor. loved the watch.. but want something different.. honestly grew a little tired of the blue on the bezel as well.

I want something different this round and not looking to spend a lot of coin.

The 2 watches I'm deciding between are :

1. Airking 116900- While I know there are a lot of members that don't care for this watch, busy dial, colors etc.... It really did nothing for me at first either.. after trying it on it really sang to me .. something about it not sure what.. maybe its the fact it doesn't stand out as a typical rolex as much.. not really sure.. But I dig it .

2. Datejust 41 .. AD has a Smooth Bezel, Black dial with Oyster Bracelet and the other option is a Rhodium dial. I think I really prefer the Black. While the Rhodium looks amazing. I'm scared I will get tired of it quicker.

Dress- M- F I usually where Polo style shirt and Slacks for work during summer , button ups during Fall / Winter .

Sat / Sun Jeans and Tee or Board shorts and Tee ( live across street from the beach) so fairly casual weekends unless attending an event or dinner.

What do you think about the two watches and I think either should go with dress or casual where ?

I do love the look of the Fluted Bezel... not sure its worth the extra $$ and wondering if its a little too dressy vs the smooth bezel. It definitely stands out on the DJ2 .. AD has a blue one in stock and I really liked it however I prefer the DJ1 and not really wanting a blue dial.

Greatly appreciate opinions/ thoughts / what have you ...
