Datejust Green Roman numerals pics?

[makak]

Hi all,

Looking through Rolex's website, I think I like the look of the 126300 and 126334. My 2 locals AD's don't have any in stock. Wondering if anyone has these watches and would be willing to share pics please and your thoughts of the watch? I currently have a Hulk.

Thanks in advance
Stephen

I owned a DJ2 in two tone with that set up

I really like the day date 40's with this set up, but on the datejust models, I feel like the baton marker at 9 o'clock ruins it for me.

These day dates are amazing though...

Now that you mention it, that baton looks really awkward.

I think it's meant to balance the date at 3 o'clock, but the cyclops doesn't need balancing in my opinion.

That DayDate is the ONE dress watch I would trade my blue baton Datejust II for. It is just really something special. I'll just have to keep saving my money for a while. That just may be my retirement watch in ~10 years

I think this model was just announced, so it's not a surprise your ADs don't have it.

Edit: and I agree with others, the baton at 9 bothers me. Otherwise I love it

Agreed, but take the eleven “XI,” then flip it to “IX,” then try to fit it in the nine spot. It’s gonna be a little crowded. Just sayin’.

Thank you for pointing it out... Now, it's all I see and it bugs!

Hmmm me too now. I thought they were stunning when I first saw them. Now looking at it again, shouldn't the 4 be IV instead of IIII. Now that's bugging me even more. Oh well, back to the drawing board

Those Day Dates look magnificent. Well out of budget though

IIII was chosen to help balance against VIII. Same goes for the white baton at 9 to balance the date as mentioned above.

Glancing at it for the amount of time required to actually read the time, the dial looks symmetrical in real life. I personally find the details more compelling than annoying. It's easy to use standard Roman numerals. Balance, however, is difficult.

I think Rolex could have made it look good if they had done it correctly. I loved that watch in Rose and green until you all just pointed out that 4 oclock was IIII. That would drive me nuts as I am all about accuracy.

Yes , the baton at 9 is supposed to balance the date at 3 but I would prefer a Roman 9 instead. Those Day Dates are just stunning though !!

[peterpl]

I love this new dial. I will probably get this dial in fluted with Jubilee when it hits the ADs.

This combo just got released this Basel.

[tkdgod]

I love the dial even with the 9. Hit up my ad at the release of it so I’ll wit to see it in person before deciding

[dr3ws]

Is the Roman numerals printed or embossed? It looks like it it has some texture to it?

[jrs146]

I much prefer all romans without the baton and no lume on the hands

You know, that imbalance doesn't bug me, this one does:

Model Smooth Fluted
DJ36 6700 7950
DJ41 7450 9450

Why are we paying more for the change in movement for the fluted DJ41 than the smooth bezel? Also why is the fluted $750 more than the DJ36? It is only a little largerb but 60% more.

I have just checked UK pricing and it is similar:

Model Smooth Fluted
DJ36 4950 5900
DJ41 5500 6950

Why do we pay double for the new movement and case size when a futed bezel is fitted?

Fluted is made of gold, smooth is SS.

I really like the new slate dial, green roman numeral DJ41 that came out at Basel. I'll probably pick one up this fall.

What's "new" about it? I bought mine July 2017. Or do you mean the SS case or Basel 2017?




There was a thought that the white marker emulated the white lines at Wimbledon...



Now known as the "Wimbledon" dial due to Roger Federer putting one on after winning there last year...



I really like the unusual white marker now. Makes the watch so individual. Wasn't certain but came to like it prior to purchase.

Oh... and since buying it, it has kept PERFECT time to the second after 8 months. Yes, that's +/- ZERO seconds in eight months.

At Basel 2018 they released the Slate dial in SS and Rolesor models.

I really enjoy that dial with the two tone case. I’ve almost bought it on a number of occasions.

[shirtguy]

that is my next datejust purchase

fluted with a jubilee bracelet

[justdate]

I had this set up on a DJII, the colours are beautiful! But that 9 o clock baton did frustrate me, it’s just not quite right!

The smooth bezel one looks amazing too, if you aren’t bothered by the baton it’s one of the best DJ combos imo.

[Rolex addict]

Slate dial with green romans on SS (not two tone) and smooth bezel was a new release for 2018.

[shirtguy]

not just smooth, fluted as well

2018 - slate dial with green roman for all ss variation for the dj41

[KBM]

Love the new SS slate dial with green romans version.

[crazycarlitos]

Love this dial. Always have.

Just couldn’t do TT personally... But the dial really pop with the TT

Can’t wait to see it in SS
