date 2 in steel ?
Little bird told me that Rolex is planning a limited edition of Date2 in steel. Is anyone here knows if this is true or not ? It might be some sort of a local event in Europe, or complete false, I can't tell. Please share your thoughts.

One surmises that the gentleman is referring to the Datejust II. If it were available in SS that would obviate having the fluted bezel, of which I am definitely not a fan. I could in fact be interested in a DJII in SS. The 41mm case would be nice to have.

But it would be nice to see this same watch in FULL SS with a domed steel bezel.........in which case there would be a substantial drop in price over the SS/WG bezel one. JJ

I guess we will just have to wait and see what Rolex comes out with. But a DateJust II in stainless steel would be cool!!!

Present lug-width of the DJ2 is 21 mm and the current SJ bracelet has a lug-width of only 20 mm. I wonder if Rolex will think its worth their while and marketing to introduce a 21 mm lug-width SJ bracelet!! JJ |

Day dates are always in gold or platinum. I'd bet my bottom dollar this isn't changing any time soon.

They did a couple of prototype steel Day-Dates in either the 60s or 70s, but I seriously doubt they would introduce a new Day-Date or Day-Date II in steel, it would undermine the perceived exclusivity of the model.
