Ss dj 41
I finally got a chance to try on all the variations of the Baselworld DJ 41s. I must say the proportions are so good. I was actually a fan of the DJ II, which I know isn't particularly popular, but looking at them side by side the DJ 41 is definitely an improvement.
The jubilee bracelet is nice but I honestly preferred the Oyster bracelet on the wrist. Colour wise the blue was the nicest, in my opinion, followed by the rhodium. It's a pity Rolex don't update their website as there are far more variations available than are displayed on site. |

Nice that you had a chance to see them in the metal.
I agree, Rolex needs to improve their website |

It was a tough call between blue and rhodium but in the end I went with rhodium oyster smooth. I love it!

Thanks! There is no green - lighting changes its looks though, which is one reason I fell for the dial. I felt the Rhodium would blend better with different situations and clothing better than blue. Although I love love love the blue too. Maybe I'll get the blue as well? In jubilee and fluted! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very nice, great proportions, case size. I'm debating the bezel/bracelet combo, but that rhodium dial, wow, that is a beauty. Hope you enjoy it.

Ahh, smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet, nice combo. I'm undecided, every time I see a different variation I think "hey! That's the one!"

I was going fluted bezel at first but the smooth bezel jubilee combo gave me the versatility I was looking for between dressy/sporty.
