Ok so I own a day date II which I purchased about 6-7 months back. The colour of my "day" and "date" seems to be creamish or off white so to say, as compared to stark white which I've seen in many pictures online and at a few Ads. I've only seen one other day date which has a similar creamish colour as mine but rest all seem to be stark white. I've attached a picture as well so you guys can see.. And no the lighting is fine..it's just this colour in every light. Any reason? Why is this

Sammk · 26 October 2014, 08:49 AM

Sorry for the tilted picture.. Here's a better one

GeoGio Greece · 26 October 2014, 08:56 AM

IMO its neant to be as such as to fit better to the dial

This has been the case on the day date for many years certain colours get a cream date day wheel to better match the dial. Cheers.

HL65 · 26 October 2014, 09:02 AM

Looks perfect to me!

vitalsignsrn · 26 October 2014, 09:55 AM

It looks ok to me. Fits the dial choice. Classy. :-) Do you have another pic for comparison sake?

watchwatcher · 26 October 2014, 10:49 AM

Hmmm...Doesn't look right to me. Better send it to me and I'll examine it more closely for you.

Looks great. Enjoy that beauty.

JustABreathAway · 26 October 2014, 11:00 AM

Gorgoeus piece!!

My DDII Champagne Romans has the exact same Day and Date background color as yours. You can look at some of the threads I've started to see exhaustive pictures of my watch.

Cheers!!

Amazing piece

VICI · 26 October 2014, 01:58 PM

My day & date are white

vitalsignsrn · 26 October 2014, 02:09 PM

Wow, Alex..thats pretty crisp. Hmmm....maybe some get cream & some get white?

I'm not familiar with this, can someone request a Day - Date wheel change? Probably at their cost I imagine.

Kyu · 26 October 2014, 08:43 PM

What are those V shape dark spots on the dial

Racerdj · 26 October 2014, 08:50 PM

Looks great!

Dyim · 26 October 2014, 09:48 PM

Totally different lighting conditions between pics, hard to compare.

Sammk · 26 October 2014, 11:47 PM

Here's another picture with more lighting.. now Alex and I have the exact same watch, with the exact same dial. His day date background is stark white, while mine is creamish.. How come?

Does your Day-Date have a random serial number?

So mine is a 'G' serial - just call Rolex and find out if it's an anomaly. Maybe it's worth more ;)

Mine is a "G" as well.
I'm thinking the random serial watches might be the start of the colored indicators while the G serials have white.

If we can get the people with colored and white to post what serial they have maybe we will find an answer.

By "G" serial number u mean its starts with a "G"?... Mine seems like a random number with just 1 alphabet H in the middle somewhere

Mine with Cream background is a Random SN, just checked!!

Sammk · 28 October 2014, 07:56 AM

Is there a way to change the topic of this thread? I wanted to change it to something more accurate on the subject but I can't find a way to edit it

Sammk · 28 October 2014, 08:18 AM

Hmmm I thought we were beginning to make a connection here buy KYU just suggested otherwise
We can only see the day date on your rose Gold and yea that's white!... So the mystery remains...only 2 creams so far, mine and justabreathaway

Speed · 28 October 2014, 11:07 AM

Looks great! Works quite well with your watch. Perhaps someone at the factory sneezed during assembly. ;-)

red98a4ss · 28 October 2014, 11:16 AM

I notice some Datejust and some two tone Subs come with cream and some white.

Kokoshawnuff · 28 October 2014, 11:35 AM

Interesting. I prefer it to the white for you dial combo. And because there is another out there 6000miles away, you can feel safe nothing is awry

Sammk · 4 November 2014, 07:38 AM
