Okay, I went to my local AD today. They are awesome by the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They not only offered a fair discount, an extra three year warranty on top of the two offered by Rolex, they also offered my first cleaning free in five years. They have a Rolex authorized watch repair man on site.

So here are the three I am between. I picked the domed bezel by the way. I think it looks better on my arm. One of the three in photos is a fluted bezel, but that's only because they didn't have a dome one in that color on site.

Let me know which of these you like the best and why. I know the final decision will be mine, but I value your opinions.

This is white, although it is kinda hard to tell from the photo

So it's white with Roman Numerals, White with stick bars, and Rhodium Silver with Roman numbers.

Which AD?

tiesmith · 4 October 2012, 10:31 AM

White with sticks.
Classic!

Dagny · 4 October 2012, 10:32 AM

Ha! That would be helpful, wouldn't it?

Henne's in Shadyside. They have a good selection and the staff is fantastic.

ecsub44 · 4 October 2012, 10:36 AM

White stick.

mjclark32 · 4 October 2012, 10:37 AM

Choice #2 IMO looks best, congrats!

JP Chestnut · 4 October 2012, 10:37 AM

White (because I like white dials) with the stick markers (because I find telling the time with a glance to be easier with the sticks) would be my choice.

Dagny · 4 October 2012, 10:38 AM

The Rolex Rhodium silver is great. the picture I took doesn't do it justice.

...and of the 3, it is the only 1 you can read at night/low light.

Sticks for me as well.

Very classic IMO

Dagny · 4 October 2012, 10:41 AM

I should note that I went into the AD planning to get a blue one, but the white and rhodium silver looked much better in person.

mmmmp · 4 October 2012, 10:47 AM

Man I'm useless. Like you I also like all three! If I *had* to choose number one would be my choice. But, photo two looks great too. Then again, the rhodium dial is striking. So, clearly I'm of no help. Good luck whatever you decide to go...they're all so nice.

#2

congrats!

Trouble15 · 4 October 2012, 10:58 AM

I'm a big fan of the white roman numeral face, SS oyster bracelet, & doomed bezel. I think it's a real stunning piece.

GradyPhilpott · 4 October 2012, 11:09 AM

Stick dials are definitely classic, plus they have lume, which your other choices do not.

I like the black, myself:

Dagny · 4 October 2012, 11:13 AM

Yeah, I guess I'm between the white with sticks and rhodium silver.

Shit, this hasn't made it any easier

gregdolley · 4 October 2012, 11:33 AM

Rhodium silver with romans looks best on you.

ingoodtime · 4 October 2012, 11:38 AM

While the stick markers lume would be helpful at night, I prefer the white dial roman numerals.

springbar · 4 October 2012, 11:57 AM

The stick dial is simpler, and you won't be able to read the other two in the dark.

I do wish Rolex would drop the chapter ring on Datejusts and return to the previous, cleaner dial designs.

JUSTROLEXES · 4 October 2012, 12:00 PM

White roman or white stick both are great

... not big on Silver roman

Bigkev · 4 October 2012, 12:08 PM

White Roman, imoh

The white dial with the sticks. Looks cleaner and classic!

I don't care for how the 6 is between the Swiss Made on the dial on the other one

LightOnAHill · 4 October 2012, 02:26 PM

white w sticks is super classy

Grissom · 4 October 2012, 02:30 PM

Another vote for #2, plus the lume may come in handy!!

Don't forget to post a few wrist shots!

sea-dweller · 4 October 2012, 02:30 PM

Nice DJ, love the Oyster bracelet and smooth bezel combos! I would get sticks or roman numerals with a white face.

I agree.

I also like the stick dials with the lume. The black is stunning, but I think that I'm partial to the silver stick dial.
