My tt djii with a new dial.

Hey guys and gals, I've had my tt datejust II for a while now with the slate dial and green Romans and I'm beginning to feel like it needs a new look. So I gave it a make-over with a brand new champagne dial and I'm really happy with the result.

Hard to say which I like better. If you wear it every day, then a change can be refreshing, but those two dials are fantastic.

I think that the champagne dial on a TT DJ is the best looking dial! Congrats & enjoy!

While the grey with Romans is my favorite TT DJ dial, I can see how a change of pace is needed.

Congrats!

They're both great looking dials. Can see why you would want to switch things up if you wear the watch a lot. Looks great Phong!

I can’t decide which one is my fav, i like both. Is the new dial an aftermarket? I have mine in blue with index, wondering if rolex sells dials that they can swap for us?

Young, it does feel like it's a brand new watch. Thanks everyone!!

Mikhaelj, that's a original champagne dial and I had my local RSC swapped out the dials for me. I would keep your beautiful blue dial.

Nice...although I must admit I'm partial to the slate dial with the green Romans.

Enjoy your new look!

Lovely, my friend, and that's one of the great things about the DJ2. I think I will get my trusted watchmaker to swap the dials when I get one, they would be white and blue I think, as I want to keep changing them over.

Larry, I'm still partial to the slate dial and that's why I chose it in the first place. Nice watch!

Neil, I love the djII so much I picked up a SS/blue.

No, the best part is he loves his watch.

gorgeous dials either one really - but I wonder if they, meaning ROLEX, would have allowed the blue stick face on your 2 tone? I think that would also be an awesome combination.
