Does Rolex have an option of a DD with Olive dial without numerals?

I think the 40mm DayDate with the olive dial is a fantastic combination, however, I am not a fan of roman numerals on any of their dials (makes it look very cluttered), thus my query: does Rolex make or allow for an olive dial without roman numerals?
Appreciate the insight.

If you're willing to spend enough money, yes. Little known, Rolex will make you anything if you're willing to put out 7 figures or close to. Most of these out of catalog Day Dates though are for the very best clients and celebrities. The Day Date TEM is my favorite of such. Beautiful emeralds. I'd call the TEM though semi-production.

Not yet and I feel the same way. I find that the romans are harder to read in certain light and I really prefer lume on my dials. Wish they had a baton option on all the dials

The only green dial without deconstructed Romans and in men's size (36mm, 40mm) are these platinum Day Dates, which are available only via ADs in the GCC countries. These are 2021 releases and off-catalogue.

There are also some Lady Datejusts and Day Dates (31mm and 34mm) with an olive dial with batons or diamonds.

But if you're looking for a 36mm or 40mm watch with olive dial in the rest of the world, then deconstructed Romans is the only choice available.

if they made the dial also available with baguettes that model would be impossible to get anyway

Appreciate everyone's input and glad to hear that I am not the only one who isn't a fan of the numerals.
Alas, I am not one of those with a spare 7 figures to put into a custom watch - soo, I will continue to admire this dial from afar and picture in my mind what it could be!
