So I have been looking for 2 dials for my 116234. I have an opportunity to trade straight up for a blue roman for my original rhodium dial. The blue roman is a genuine factory dial. My question is just how important is it to have the original dial the watch was born with? I have trouble seeing the rhodium dial. Should I do it? Thanks!

Not really a big deal with a DJ...so long as it's a dial that would have been available on that model of watch at the time it was made.

If you plan to keep forever - just please yourself.

You'll be fine to do the switch....I found the rhodium roman tough to read as well.

Swaping dials is OK if you are using authentic Rolex dials for that case, the aftermarket dials are poo. My opinion so do not shoot me.
