Photo Request - Yellow Gold DD 36mm Jubilee Dial - White

[CassiusNZ]

Evening All,

So went to a Rolex AD in Nassau yesterday and tried on a few models.. found out of all the Gold models without a doubt the most comfortable was the DD 36mm.. loved the YG with white dial... BUT found the white dial to be too 'flat'.. I like my dial with a bit of pop! to it. Researching through found the Jubilee dial below -


I'm the one who was tossing up between YG Sub, 5711 or BLNR... having tried on the regular GMT ('green lantern') the feel of the SS just didn't do it for me. I've found 118238 Jubilee Dial's or Silver Diamond Dials for around the 16-18k mark.. which also makes it 9-7k less than the 5711 I was also tossing up.

The other thing with 5711 that has me worried is A) the servicing and B) marking the face.

So I'm requesting if possible more photos of the Jubilee dial DD... also user experience with the dial.. how it is in real life.. i assume its gonna be hard to find to see in real life :\

Thanks all!!!

Also legibility of this dial in white... oh Blue dial sub is out because of the weight and feel.. just not as comfy as this president bracelet... my last watch was DD2 Rose Gold.. which was awesome but too heavy over time.. this fits like a glove!

No one? Anyone? :)

Which aspect of servicing are you worried about?

Frankly it depends upon what you need in a watch. I have a black jubilee on a datejust and I'm switching back to the original white tapestry dial due to two reason; 1) the jubilee has no minute/second ticks, and 2) the white dial is easier to read as are the baton markers as opposed to my Arabic number. Just the lack of second/minute markers is really a big thing for me. I like to know what time it is not approximately what time it is.

Thanks for the reply guys...

Zapokee - Im from New Zealand and don't think there is a Patek authorised service agent there.. from what i hear 3-5year intervals on serving and a 6-9month wait.. probably more from NZ :\

Hog - Thanks for that.. i didn't even think about there not being Minute markers.. the one IM looking at is white not black so should be easier to read... something to think about though.. what are your thoughts on this dial instead -

Thoughts on the Silver dial?

Think it looks a bit better now than the jubilee..

It is completely your choice. Don't go off what others say. Buy what you like the most.

Sorry to take so long to respond; I think it is a big improvement. I'd love to find that dial for my DD. Love the railroad track with romans! Here's my '72.
