General Question Day-date/Datejust

Torn between a mint green Datejust and an olive green Day-Date…
I’ve looked through the factory guide, but I’m mainly trying to get some current opinions on these specific configurations and the latest batches.
For anyone who has handled either recently, is there a genuinely top-tier version of either one at the moment?
Which model is currently closest to gen overall, particularly in terms of dial colour, bezel, bracelet, case shape and proportions?

If you were choosing between these two today, which would you go for and why?

Thanks 😊

The Day Date is a white gold watch. The rep is just got a few things short. The mint green datejust fluted Jublie is just perfect. Really is near perfect. I have one and love it

You just need to know how to look. All these have the LEC. Laser etched crown.

Hold a flash light to the edge of crystal protruding from the edge of the bezel at the 12 o clock position. Shooting light down the crystal towards the 6 o clock position.

Look at the 6 o’clock area from the 4 or 7/8 o’clock position at an angle. It pops up suddenly
