One thing I meant to say before : your audio is superb. I have to listen to some channels at 100% volume just to hear them in the gym. But your audio is crisp, clear and loud. I can listen to you easily at 50% volume. So thanks for that!
I see your point abou the fluted bezel however I do find the smooth more attractive with the motif dial. The fluted with motif just feels a bit too busy where the smooth seems to frame the dial and out it front a center.
A few months back I configured the exact DJ I wanted. 41/smooth bezel/mint green on a oyster steel bracelet. So, a different choice to the recommendation here. It’s all down to personal choice , of course. There’s no right or wrong. I’ve been fortunate to purchase the watch I configured from a local AD.
For several years wore the stereotypical DateJust: two-tone Jubilee bracelet, champagne dial, fluted gold bezel, etc. but I now wear an all stainless steel DJ, Oyster bracelet, smooth bezel, with blue sunburst dial. I found the two-tone DJ to seem a little ostentatious, and much prefer the understated simplicity of the blue DJ which really flies under the radar.
I’m very pleased to say sir that I’m a proud owner of both the DJ41 and 36mm Explorer I. Both are absolutely stunning in their simplicity. Unnoticed by the average person but deeply appreciated by its owner.
IMHO, after owning Rolex, AP and Patek for 20 years, wait for the actual model you want and not buy the in-between. Prices are now falling. Better off buying the Submariner from grey market than playing the game. I have spent 10s of thousands on the wife at the AD and I still wait for a GMT for my older son. I also, have a blue dial Date-Just requested (nothing is ever on order) for my younger son. There are tonnes of people like me, on top of the crypto-bros (thinking watch trading is the next career). I have had horrible experiences with trying to trade my watches. No matter what watch I have ever tried to trade in, the AD or dealer (unless unworn with stickers) will always quote you a spread wider than a lorry to drive through. I have had dealers tell me Subs, Royal Oaks, Calatravas are not worth much. One dealer even refused to look at my great condition 40MM Sub no-date saying, "I cannot sell that." It will literally drive you to drink.
I'm biased because the DJ36 in the blue dial/jubilee/fluted bezel was my very first Rolex back in 2020 and I have loved it ever since first seeing a vintage 1601 that my uncle wore. The Blue DJ is just such a classic imo but I guess you can't go wrong with green either especially if that's favorite color.
Great video - thanks for all the details. Between a 41 Datejust Mint Green Fluted Jubilee and a 41 Sub Date - what would you go for and why, especially when they are more or less similarly priced. Thanks in advance for your response.
These watches are so diversely different it would depend on what circumstances you intend to wear the watch. Although, I would never go for a 41mm DJ unless your wrist is at least 7.5 inches, as the watch in that size is large on most wrists, which the 36mm would be a better fit. If you seek a more casual and sporty watch, the Sub is the obvious answer.
It's probably me, but I find the blue fluted dial with fluted bezel a tad on the overkill side. I enjoy the fluted dial, but why not go with the smooth bezel? Less complicated visually. Also, if I'm nitpicking, I'm not sure I like the roulette date wheel, to be honest. It just looks gimicky in my opinion. Sorry.
I recently bought the 41mm Mint Green dial jubilee fluted, great watch but I have to say I used to have the white dial 41mm sold it on a while back and in my eyes that was a better looking dial
Just got myself a Datejust 36 black dial fluted jubilee from my local AD. It’s nice and probably easier to get than the blue or green dial variations. The black dial goes well with a variety of outfits, both formal and casual, and is more understated, drawing attention more to the sparkle of the fluted white gold bezel rather than to the dial.
Some people say the Wimbledon dial is the best or the second best dial that you can get, next to the green or blue. It's a cool dial, but legibility wise, it's pretty rubbish. It takes me twice as long to tell the time. Blue is best if you want to use it as an actual timepiece. Having said that, I haven't actually seen a blue dial in person.
The blue is the way to go, if your actually going to wear it. Green is just not as versatile as the blue. I have the DJ 41 in azurro blue and is beyond amazing. Green might be someone elses cup of tea, but blue is the hot set up in my opinion.
I was lucky enough, to get my DJ blue motif dail at my AD within 7 months. I also bought OP blue dail for my son in 2022. I waited for that watch for more then 16 months. It is for his 18 birthday, which will be in 2025( so it is in the safe for now). I hope to continue a family tradition. I got my airking when I turned 21, and later had it on my wrist at my wedding. . My wife know wears that watch. So buy the watch you like, not for an investment. You should enjoy your watch, that’s what they are for, remember..?😊 Thanks for the video, love the channel.
Another nice video. Thanks. I wish I had bought my DJ two tone (2014, fluted, yellow) on jubilee against oyster as they changed the clasp. New so called sport or ‘pro’ style clasp totally mismatches natural flow of jubilee.
I've had my name down for the 41 blue motif dial with fluted bezel and jubilee since its launch. That guy needs to knows firstly they're not on 'order' and secondly stop looking at watches as investments and making money.... There is no guarantee you'll make enough after wearing it to jump up the ladder.... Buy what you like!!! And keep it
I was thinking of getting the original blue when it first came out, but after seeing the mint in person I’ve changed my mind. It’s simply stunning in mint. Too bad Rolex ADs continue playing their only for display game.
I haven't seen it in the steel yet, but the sales associate at a local AD planted the idea of a Datejust with the Jubilee bracelet, domed bezel and the fluted motif dial. On Rolex's online configuration tool, it does appear stunning; the domed bezel seems to make you focus on the dial more.
He says he has the watch on order. To be clear he has suggested he'd like one and if the AD decide to grace his little wrist he might get one. He has not ordered it. I too have indicated my desire to have one. I'm 80. I will soon have to make the decision whether to buy a grey model or not. I am sure there must be better ways of running a waiting list but not sure what it is. Green yes.

Its most certainly not "all about the fluted bezel". It's what you want it to be; not what someone else thinks it should be. Fluted and Jubilee is dressier. Flat bezel and Oyster is less dressy. Buy what you like.
If you want to move up the Rolex watch ladder, if you can, try to land on professional model vs the DJ. Nothing against the DJ as I do like them, but I don’t think it will hold value as well as a Sub No Date. Obvisiously, you’ll have to wait a tad longer for the Sub vs DJ. But that’s just me, just a suggestion. Good luck!! Ash, thanks for vid!!

Got the mint green fluted on jubilée 36 last month and prefer it over the blue. More exciting than grey, yet looks slate in some colors. As for the fluted blue (and gold), I find them a bit gaudy
I think that the green or the plain blue will have better (cringe) value retention over the blue motif. The chap may be in for trouble if he thinks that a DJ is a way to wear a savings account. He sounds very keen on temporarily settling for something completely different from what he wants. Regardless, watches can act as sirens luring our ship closer and closer to danger. Hope the chap has a life raft…
Rule number one: Datejust always in 36 mm Rule number two: Choose the most particular dial. Green is just a current trend. Fluted motif Blue will be collector when discontinued.
I’d say well clear of a Date Just. They are under rated for a reason. They don’t have the main thing that makes people buy a Rolex…… desirability and scarcity.
Lmao you could not be more wrong. The DJ 41 is far more elegant than the 36. It’s also a man’s sized watch. The 36 is meant for women with small dainty wrists. So maybe you have small dainty wrists, in that case the 36 is for you.
@@Master-xl9msif you know any Rolex history then you know the original size of the Datejust is 36mm. The 41 is a modern sizing aimed at men. But 36mm is the way to go imo. Very classic and therefore timeless. Much more dressy, but at the same time can also be worn with anything. A real GADA watch!
I tried them both. Definetely the 41mm is for me as an everyday watch. I agree 36 is dressier but for that case I would buy a leather strap dress watch with a smaller case.
Instead of one million watches, Rolex are going to produce more than two million watches per year by building a new factory. All Rolex watches are all made by hand🤣. All the marketing of Rolex is a big scam, and people believe in it.🤣

Always liked the blue but this mint is pure class. Green for me.
100%
Blue will always be around due to popularity! Mint on the other hand, could be a rare treat. Same with the purple.
The mint fluted motif dial with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet is the most desirable it seems. Easier to get a Kermit than that one.

I have to disagree about the smooth bezel I think if you wear the watch as a dress watch the smooth bezel is more the part.
Datejust = fluted bezel. If you want a more generic looking watch, buy an Oyster Perpetual and save a few thousand £.
The perpetual doesn’t include the date that’s the point of the datejust. It also doesn’t come with the option of the Jubilee bracket so your suggestion is a totally different watch.
Unless said chap is a lumberjack, they should look at the 36mm.
Agreed 36 is the way for most people, especially given how shiny and extravagant the full fluted datejust looks
So this guys ordered a 41mm then? 36mm. Is that like the best size for an average guy? Honest questions. I know nothing about sizes yet.
Say for e.g me. I'm 5.11 Average build i guess.

Instead of one million watches, Rolex are going to produce more than two million watches per year by building a new factory. All Rolex watches are all made by hand🤣. All the marketing of Rolex is a big scam, and people believe in it.🤣
36 is a women's watches .... or gay
Only certain individuals wear oversized watches like women's bracelets! Men wear watches differently. Never oversized!
