Hi guys!

I wanted to buy 116234 with silver face but while traveling I got an absolute killer offer on a blue one! 22% off the price tag.

Here’s the beauty

Pulled the trigger.

I’m still pondering was it the right decision.
I was also told that for 500€ I can get the dial replaced at Rolex no problem. I would have two dials and still pay less than what I was offered on high street.

What are your thoughts buddy’s? Who prefers the blue or the silver!

lecorsaire · 20 February 2018, 09:00 AM

Love the blue dial and the roulette date wheel. Great choice! Silver is more understated but the blue dials really pop.

AboutTime · 20 February 2018, 09:03 AM

Beautiful watch. Blue is very popular but, if given a choice, I would prefer the silver dial. It's great that there are so many dial choices for the 36 mm DJ.

soflonative · 20 February 2018, 09:08 AM

Love the blue dial!!!!...Congrats!!

AJM914 · 20 February 2018, 09:07 AM

Congrats looks great!

Our current FBI Director sports a gorgeous blue dial DJ Turnograph. Looks really sharp.

SemperFi · 20 February 2018, 09:16 AM

That’s a gorgeous watch Matthew. Congratulations!

SkyClown · 20 February 2018, 09:16 AM

LoL

Thanks guys!
Here are both next to each other

Any opinions on getting second dial? If I’ll get bored, Shouldn’t be a big issue to swap them one day at ARSC since it was their idea.
Funny thing- after wearing it all day I’m starting to love the blue. And the roulette date...
Hard life of a WIS

Someone at Rolex said that they would sell you a second dial? I don't think it works that way.

RolexPD · 20 February 2018, 09:17 AM

Great deal!

SkyClown · 20 February 2018, 09:26 AM

In two different counties- Today in Marbella, Spain and in Warsaw, Poland where I live (called authorized salon today). 550 euro and no problem.
I only dread the Idea of anyone leaving a mark while doing the swap.
One more pic from the Spanish store. With mr. white.

However they couldn’t beat the Warsaw airport offer. 15% was max...

I couldn’t refuse the offer I got in Warsaw even though it was not my primary color...

SkyClown · 20 February 2018, 09:58 AM

I was also told that the latest silver version doesn't come with the roulette date. Can any one confirm that?

Beauty Matthew, congratulations

SkyClown · 20 February 2018, 10:20 AM

Thank You guys :)
This is so interesting!
Have a look at the dial catalogue
It shows with an * the dials with roulette date wheel.

AEC · 20 February 2018, 10:21 AM

It's a beauty. Very nicely configured Date-Just! I would wear it just the way it is; don't be in a rush to change that gorgeous blue dial.

nick c · 20 February 2018, 10:22 AM

Very nice! Congrats

Looks really good. I have a silver roman dial but that blue is nice!

q8rolex · 20 February 2018, 12:30 PM

blue is great

mps354 · 20 February 2018, 12:42 PM

Great choice, love that blue dial!

Rogdogg · 20 February 2018, 12:47 PM

I much prefer the blue dial.

Also, on the issue of the dial swap I do not think they will sell you a second dial from an AD. I don't know what the costs are but if they have quoted you a price of $500 that's always been to swap the dial over where they keep your blue dial. That is my understanding on it anyway.

I think you already have the nicer dial in the blue.

mklam · 20 February 2018, 09:52 PM

Blue FTW

Thank you!

Here in Spain and in my native Poland you can purchase a new dial and keep’em both as long as it’s dedicated to your model.
I also did some research on the forum and from what I’ve found it works like that everywhere.

Thanks everyone for kind words :)
For now I’m sticking with the blue

watchwatcher · 21 February 2018, 12:45 AM

Very nice...congrats.

I think the blue is perhaps a little more legible. And I love blue dials, so that's my vote.
