DJ41 TT motif dial

Hi All-

Thinking of adding a DJ41 to the collection soon and am torn between TT (rose gold/steel) with silver or slate motif dial.

Would most likely go with the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet combination.

My AD can order this model with either dial but doesn’t have any exhibition pieces in this configuration for me to see in person.

I’ve been looking on YouTube to try and get a good view of them but sometimes is much better in the flesh.

Wanted to ask if any fellow TRF member debated these two dials as well and can share any photos, experiences as I try to narrow it down. Thanks!

I think the Slate Motif dial looks better than the silver. More contrast against the stainless part of the TT watch, and you can also see the Motif design in more detail. I wish they would offer that Slate Motif dial in the all SS model.

I think the slate looks really sharp too! You don’t have this model do you?

I vote for silver dial, no motif. Sleek looking.

Jubilee, fluted, motif has a distinctly buzzy look. Slate or silver plain or chocolate are all nice.

DJ41 TT motif dial

Don’t care for the motif dials, but that’s just me. A little too busy, with Jubilee, fluted bezel and fluted dial. Plain dial is classier, IMO. I do like the Wimbledon dial, in two-tone, which you should be able to order, as well.

I can see how the configuration is very busy. I think the fluted dials are nice addition to a brand that otherwise does very plain dials. Companies like PP,AP and GS have great treatments on their dials and it feels like rolex just stamps another circle and paints it blue or black sometimes.

go with plain dial.
Motif is distracting and not as legible.
I had a yellow gold motif and sold within 5 months.

Here you go. The dial is really dynamic. Very subdued in some light and very busy in others.

IMO the motif dial is too busy with a jubilee bracelet. The chocolate dial would be my choice with TT rose gold

The fluted dials look good but would drive me crazy after a while. The fluted makes the dial harder to read for me.
