I'd vote for a DJ as a nice dress addition. Maybe jubilee band since yiu have a oyster band watch already.
And if you can stretch for two tone!

Tough choice, the DJ is such a beauty and this would be what I would buy if I was to get one. That being said the LV is such a beauty, I say wait for it and you will not regret your decision, I love mine

Definately try on the LVC before making the decision..

The DJ is very nice but you might be hypnotized by the green like I was.

IMO the DJ II is the way to go... Personally I was never a fan of the DJ, my Father had several growing up, I never paid attention to them. All that changed when I tried on the DJII, it was love at first sight! Definitely my next purchase, I almost got this very one from DavidSW here on TRF but it was long gone!
Good luck with your decision, happy shopping!

Bought a 116234 (blue dial, batons, steel w/ wg bezel) last Thursday - still giddy. It's my first watch since the one I had as a kid on which you could play Frogger. :-)

Go for the Datejust. I have a black dial with roman letters for 7 years. It is the best watch. I don't have to worry about getting a scratch on it. It is easy to get a new one. On the other hand, I have to be very careful when I'm out with the Hulk because I don't want to get a scratch on it.

with GMT, i think it's better to have the DJ. the design for GMT and Sub are almost identical except from the bezel (actually GMT is more advanced than Sub on bi-directional bezel rotation, and extra GMT hour hand) and the clasp (depending on the models you want).

I own a 116234 tuxedo dial with jubilee hidden crown clasp. This will compliment well with your GMT. The only drawback to me on the jubilee is that there is no easy link extension.

Go with the DJ classic.

I think my mind was close to set in the DJ accompanying my GMTiic before I made this thread and this has been the nail in the coffin!

I'm really surprised how much hidden love the 36mm DJ has and may it live forever!

Ryan if there is a need for a micro-fit with the Super Jubilee your AD can get you "1 1/4" links that add 2 mm to the bracelet length. So go DJ and have no fear !

Yup, I have one of these 1.25 links as well and it's super!
