Incoming! I got the one nobody seemed to like..

On two seperate occasions I saw this model at a dealer. Both times the people I were with said "Meh."

It seems the Sticks and the Romans get all the love here too. The Arabics not so much..

Anyway I've always loved this and I figured if I want a NIB, now is the time.


Big shout out and thanks to Tony ( Justrolex. )


So without further rambling on..

Yes! If I were to get a DJ this would be the one! My only concern is that smooth bezel taking a beating after a while.. gorgeous watch however.

great looking watch, i nearly bought the same one but with the fluted bezel.

if Rolex ever bring out the new DJ41 with a roman or arabic dial im in, i dont like the batten dials on the current new model.

Congratulations. This is one of my favourite DJ dials. The lume gives that little spice to the watch that makes the whole package very appealing.

Not a fan of arabics generally but the blue on silver is one of my favourite dials. Great choice.
