Yes all DJ II's are SS bracelets or TT SS - I'll have to go pick up a new catalog soon as well :)

Rolex use the term Rolesor to get around hallmarking rules - if the whole case and bracelet aren't completely made from gold, they can't call it that, so on TT models and ones with a WG bezel, it's known as white, yellow or pink Rolesor

precious metal + steel = Rolesor = stunning

A bit expensive the DateJust II at £5110 I rather go for a sports model.

Yes, it is quite a step up in price from the 116234, but certainly a striking watch

Well... DJII is a dressy watch, so whoever wants a dressy watch would generally look at the DJII range.

If someone wants a sports model, they probably wouldn't be looking at a DJII... So can't really compare them.

Agreed, DJII is a stunning piece.

Does anyone think R will make an all-steel DJII?

Although I think one would be received well, I have a gut feeling they won't - the usual product development cycles that Rolex follow haven't been applied to the DJII. It's been out for a couple of years, and we've seen no extra dials yet - they could surprise us, but I think we may already have the full lineup, unfortunately.
