Congrats, I love this watch. The DJ41’s do wear smaller than you would think.
They're actually 39.5mm.
???? They're not 41?

They wanted to sue Rolex. It was great.

It's actually smart of Rolex. People don't really want a 41mm DJ because everyone hated the fugly 41mm dj2. So they made a nicer and proportionate update in a better size and made everyone think it had "more wrist presence".

I thought I tried one on at the store, it felt like it was 41-42 but it had larger markers if I recall?

I'm pretty sure large marker = DJ2 = true 41mm.

Yeah. It was a failure. They are around though. I'm sure deals to be had.

The proportions were funky. The usual Rolex too small dial, with all the size increase pushed to the bezel width.

Watch the date change on yours. Some of the new movements have had a problem snapping over properly.

Gotcha. I think Rolex needs to utilize polar explorer 2 midcase in more models

A sub XL on that mid case would be a huge success.

Not this one I set the time and worked properly.

Great looking DJ. I’m eyeing the DD version with the same blue dial, although it’ll be a while before I could afford one.

That looks really nice. I would have probably gone fluted bezel, but there's really no wrong choice.
Especially if you want to accentuate the “old man” look.
