Why do some Datejust's have a red date?
I think the red date stands out nicely but just wondering.
Thanks, |

It's known as the roulette date wheel, and it alternates between black on even days, and red on odd ones. It's a feature that's been available for a very long time, and is available on current models depending on the dial

Note that Turn O Graphs have all red date numbers without the black.

wow, what a nice watch! I take it this is silver face? Your pics are much nicer than what the dealers show and does the watch justice. I was always a little unsure about this design, not sure what it is called but it is nice... very!
