I am really thinking about the Datejust 41, and while I tried the silver dial, I was sure that I would go with black.... untill I fell over the below pictures.

The watch would acompany the SD 116600, a silver dial JLC Ultra Thin and possibly a Speedmaster pro...

Let me have your input, please!!

Rhodium:

Black:

That rhodium is crazy nice...one of the best I've seen lately, IMO.

That said, the black is so classic and...timeless. Guess it depends on what look you're after.

i would go with rhodium. fell in love when i tried it on! :-)

Rohdium

opawlows · 23 February 2018, 07:32 AM

based on what is in your current collection, I am going to say blue dialed DJ.

lecorsaire · 23 February 2018, 07:32 AM

Rhodium. I’ve tried most of the non-diamond dial configs on and rhodium is the best. I think it is the stand out dial on the SS 41. Black is always nice but the majority of sports watches have black dials. When going for a DJ, I would choose something more unique. The blue is popular as well but it just isn’t as elegant or understated as rhodium.

vladamir15 · 23 February 2018, 07:37 AM

Rohdium

Colin10101 · 23 February 2018, 07:38 AM

Black in my opinion

eltonbalch · 23 February 2018, 07:39 AM

Wow...I’ve really been mulling over purchasing a DJ 41 with the bluedial, but the rhodium is very compelling. Lucky for you either rhodium or black are great choices!

Ballzzz · 23 February 2018, 07:41 AM

I wanted rhodium on DJII but didn't want diamonds so I went with black stick. I love the rhodium non diamond on DJ41. I vote Rhodium on DJ41 BUT Black Thicker Stick on DJII.

datejustrms · 23 February 2018, 07:44 AM

You can't go wrong with either one. Rolex knocked it out of the park with all the dials on these.

GMT Aviator · 23 February 2018, 07:46 AM

Rhodium.

Thanks, but blue is not working for me. Had a blue dial dj2 for about 1 day and the BLNR for about 3 days. Just didn’t do it for me :(

Seems that votes are in favor of the Rhodium. This was also the recommendation of my AD. Hope I have time to visit him during the week end....

Rhodium between the two...I’m trying to decide between the rhodium or the silver!

Rhodium.

AK797 · 23 February 2018, 08:06 AM

Rhodium is my top choice.

BMess · 23 February 2018, 08:07 AM

Rhodium! The only problem with it is in some light it's very flat grey and gives the watch an increasingly monotone appearance.

lecorsaire · 23 February 2018, 08:14 AM

You’re also making the right choice with the fluted bezel and jubilee. Classic yet very modern at the same time. This is what the DJ2 should’ve been from the beginning imo.

brigadeer · 23 February 2018, 08:19 AM

You can’t go wrong either way IMHO. That said, I will go against the grain here and say Black.

henrylee · 23 February 2018, 08:31 AM

Rhodium

Malibuboy · 23 February 2018, 08:33 AM

That rhodium dial is a new classic.

lucevan le stelle · 23 February 2018, 08:38 AM

Either, but black will probably be the safer choice in the long term if you think you may not keep the watch forever.

Chadridv · 23 February 2018, 08:40 AM

Rhodium!

Pavlos · 23 February 2018, 08:44 AM

Either

tbonesteak · 23 February 2018, 08:53 AM

Rhodium is my favorite for that reference.

Boothroyd · 23 February 2018, 09:15 AM

My advice is try to see the models in person before deciding.

Thegr8one · 23 February 2018, 09:17 AM

I had the black dial for approx 8 months before I sold it. If I had a do over, I'd go with Rhodium.

brandrea · 23 February 2018, 09:17 AM

Rhodium for me, no question

herts9 · 23 February 2018, 09:19 AM

Rhodium, by a long shot
