Datejust II Smooth Bezel and Rhodium Arabic Dial ?

Hi,

In the classic Rolex models I like the Datejust II the most because of its 41mm size which seems to be the best size for my wrist.

The dials however are all very boring and I don't like the very thick hour markers on the models with a smooth bezel.

Since I don't like the white gold fluted bezel either (too much bling) I think an ideal combination would be a SS smooth bezel with a rhodium arabic dial.

Unfortunately this combination doesn't seem to exist for the Datejust II when looking at the Rolex website and the DJII e-brochure (rhodium arabic dial only in combination with fluted bezel...?).

On Chrono24 I saw however a few watches with exactly the combination I'm looking for. See picture.

Question: are these official Rolex watches or did someone make a Frankenwatch? Or is it maybe an older model that Rolex doesn't manufacfure anymore?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure? I don't know Swiss Luxury but this is apparently a website in Miami, so not really related to Rolex or Switzerland apart from their name...

Why would Rolex not show this beautiful watch on their website or in their brochures if it's a current model?

Sorry, I know I'm very sceptical, but there are so many fake rolexes out there (or frankenstein watches...;)

Now that's a sweet looking Datejust.
