Congrats, I love this watch. The DJ41’s do wear smaller than you would think.

They're actually 39.5mm.

???? They're not 41?

No. Some tards had a huge thread about it on TRF.

They were so upset about it.

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.

So that's discontinued now? That was quick

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

Why? Size or markers size?

That’s a great watch and it looks perfect on you. Congrats

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.

Agreed, SubcND in that midcase would be a dream for me

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.

Dig it. Great pickup.
Either jubilee+smooth or fluted+oyster

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.

Size is nice on your wrist. Congrats!

I can pull the look off.
