I have tried on multiple different sizes and bands and hoping to make a final decision this week. My previous and long ago sold Rolex was 26mm, white dial with black Roman numerals, gold and steel Jubilee. 36mm is going to be my new size- love it.
I know I want an all steel band, but deciding between the DJ steel with white dial and the OP with silver dial. With the DJ I would stay with the dome bezel. Of course with the DJ jubilee I could pick the silver dial as well. Thoughts? Pics for reference.

I prefer the oyster perpetual (but I prefer fluted bezel)

Definitely the OP36. The DJ looks better with a fluted bezel.

OP with silver dial. Jubilee band looks better with fluted bezel
Thanks! I had not given thought to the fluted bezel, but it is such an integral part of the Rolex heritage. I liked the sportier domed bezel, but maybe fluted with the oyster bracelet. The combinations are a bit overwhelming. Now I am leaning toward this one:

I just wanted to point out the hands and dial marker outlines are yellow gold for the OP. It gives off a warm yellow colour overall to the dial. It's not always silver under different lighting. So it depends if you want a full silver dial.

I have a DJ fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet and sometimes I want something simple for everyday like the OP that's very no fuss. I love the jubilee bracelet though, very comfortable to wear. I would say it depends on what other watches you have in your rotation. I'm no help hahaha. You can't go wrong with either ;)
