Sunburst dials

Which models feature the sunburst dials please? The dial on the hulk and YG blue sub are amazing and I’m wondering which other models feature such a dial? Thanks!

I'm also attracted to these dials...they're fantastic!

You can find sunburst dials on many models of the current line up. A quick peruse of the Rolex website will show you exactly which ones.

A few that pop into my mind are the DD/DJ, Sky-D, OP, Daytona, and Milguass. I'm sure there's more, but that's off the top of my head.

Love the sunburst dials, Rolex make them probably better and more extensively than any other manufacturer I find. Look on the website, most models now have a sunburst option or two.

I got a Datejust with a blue sunburst dial. I am always fascinated about how many shades of blue it has, depending on the light. Rolex has really done a great job on the Sunburst dials.

Just about every Rolex model offers a sun burst dial. Pick your flavour and enjoy.

Rolex should have put one on the Air-King. That would have made the dial less busy.

If so, he should send it to RSC and tell them they forgot the date.

Yes Rolex sunburst dials are awesome. You just better QC them properly. Myself and many others have had issues with Rolex sunburst.

I adore the sunburst dial that came with my Everose DJ41 and strongly recommend it.

Well it can't be a DateJust because it doesn't have a date
It's the Oyster Perpetual 34mm (114200) with Olive green dial.
