Which watch should I get for my 40th birthday? 😍

Don’t think I’ll have much getting a new OP before March :-( at least where I live I’ve been on a list for 13 months thus far and radio silence. The AD here answers when I inquire but they never have updates on my status 😢
So cool to get so much feedback in such a small amount of time, thank you all! So let me give you my insights, my birthday is in March and currently the two watches are at a tie 😅I’ve tried both on and aesthetically I think they both suit me well from appearance and also “watch personality.”
Favoring the Rolex:
For a life milestone, I feel like adding the crown to my collection is just “the thing” to do.
Purple is my favorite color actually.
I like that it’s a more playful Rolex, pretty unexpected to see a purple one!
For me personally, this is THE OP model that speaks to me most loudly, with its rhodium twin being a close second.
Obviously, this caters to the “Rolex itch” many have mentioned.
Favoring JLC:
The watch nerd in me knows that the JLC is the better horological piece and the brand has heritage bleeding from its ears.
The dial literally blew me away. No online pics do this dial justice, you gotta see it in person! I’ve never fallen so hard over a dial 😂
I like that I can get it new without Rolex hassle, yes JLC spike prices recently, and yes I’d save significantly pre owned, etc but you only turn 40 once so YOLO lol. I like the idea of the watch “starting its journey” with me because it is a milestone.
Both are within the budget, so now it’s a matter of making a decision 😭😭😭
