Too large imo. Would have liked to see a 38-39mm. I think the proportions would have been better.

I'm looking forward to trying one on. Will be in Ireland in July and hoping one of the ADs in Dublin or Galway might have one by then. It's doubtful however.

DJs in general don't get a lot of emphasis; likely they are too common. Seems that replacing the DJII blue stick's popularity might be a tall order.

I think people will be much more excited when DJ41 is available in SS and SS/white gold. Two-tone isn't for everyone.

Perhaps, but they definitely did slim it down which should help!

I would like to see this in SS though, and just curious if we will have fun dials as we had with the the DJ2.

I'm thinking along these lines, too.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. A couple of AD's in Canada said they expect to see it in June so hopefully in a few weeks.

I would have been more excited if they also upgraded the clasp.

Not wild about the model choices introduced. Like the DJII two-tones better.

I am very excited, still trying to work out TT or wait for the SS version, but pretty sure one will be in my future.

Very excited about the DJ 41 but not in TT. I will try one on to see how it fits. I don't like the DJ II proportions, the DJ 41 looks better to me. If they came out with a DJ 41 Blue Stick I would have bought it this year. Looks like I'll have to wait a year longer. Hopefully only a year longer.

I also very much like the new movement.

I thought the DJ 41 is the same width as the DJ II only thinner in profile?
