Pictures of Datejust with Rhodium Roman dial

Hello,

Could anyone share comments and post pics of SS Datejust with fluted bezel and rhodium roman dial. Which do you prefer - rhodium roman or blue roman dial on a Datejust 36 mm?

Thanks!

Rhodium is excellent. It's what my wife chose: a rhodium roman dial for her Ladies' DJ. People who have commented on it, including watch aficionados, have commented on the rhodium aspect of it. Rhodium is just gorgeous, and holds the light excellently.

Pic speaks for words, even with my poor camera skill:


It's since had the bezel replaced with diamonds, but the point remains.

Thank you guys for your comments and suggestions! I am convinced, I like rhodium too. Looking to buy one here on TRF. Let me know if you have One for sale. How would you compare rhodium roman to silver dial with sticks?

Rhodium for casual days and blue for formal evenings.

Dunno now. I like blue dials. But that rhodium w/ gold Roman sings a new tune to me. And I like what I hear...and see.

Rhodium with Roman. I have it with the Oyster bracelet and hope to get one with a Jubilee soon.
