A Tale of 2 DateJust 41s... and impatience
So I was on the hunt for a DateJust 41 in a certain configuration and dial color. Managed to get my name on a couple of AD “lists”. After waiting 2 months, I got impatient and picked up a LNIB watch. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted but the itch was scratched. One week later, a very nice AD texts me and said “got exactly what you want and it’s yours if you respond ASAP”. As I was out of town for the week, a couple of texts and a modest deposit, I was able to pick up the one I really wanted today. So I’m stuck with 2 and even have thoughts of keeping both (you know how you justify these things). But I’ve come to my senses and one must go. Wanna guess which one is a keeper?

Blue jubilee?
The blue is the hardest to find, or so I’ve been told. |

I know!
You ordered the Blue dial and bought the Black to tide you over. Now, you are keeping the Black and selling the Blue! Do I win something? |

Keep both if you can. DJ41 has become very scarce in the NY area especially the blue dial

God help us all - me too!
Ordered Dark Rhodium - returned and have blue incoming. It's a sickness. And an expensive one. |

Mate i would never have done this a few years ago, but the Australian market is that bad for any steel watches i'd be happy to keep both and enjoy them. At least one is black and the other is that ever so popular blue, as you know Rolex is making DJ's an order only watch so you couldn't go wrong.

Blue dial, fluted bezel and jubilee, its as perfect as a DJ gets and for sure a keeper and would complement a sub perfectly

Blue dial, fluted bezel on jubilee is definitely hardest to find and it’s a gorgeous piece. Let me put it to you this way. I had a really hard time finding that configuration for a DJ 31 for my wife last Christmas. It’s a keeper.

I would keep the blue one. It's my perfect DJ41 SS configuration (or would be if I ever bought one). What you do is entirely up to you.
