Datejust 31mm dial with Arabic numbers?

[azgr]

Does Rolex offer dials other than what is shown in the website? An AD told me that he received a dj31 in stainless with a pink dial and Arabic numbers. On the Rolex website, I see a pink dial with Roman numerals and a pink dial with stick indicators for this watch, but nothing with Arabic numerals per the ADs description.

I plan to go see it in person, but does anyone have thoughts on this?

There are hundreds of dials available

Thanks, I understand that many dials are available, but I suppose I didn't phrase my question correctly.

As a brand new model from an AD, are there watches and dial combinations available that are not listed on the Rolex website?

More specifically, is a datejust 31mm with pink dial and Arabic numerals available from an AD from the Rolex factory? This combo is not shown on the Rolex website.

There are definitely off-catalogue pieces, but those are generally heavily jeweled PM pieces.

Suppose it’s always possible it was a previous generation that was still at distribution center? And, while I doubt it, is it possible he was referring to an Arabic language version typically found in middle eastern markets? Not even sure if that exists, though.

I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow and go from there. If it looks good, is there any reason not to buy this version? It is new sold through an AD.

Do you like it? If not, why are you buying it?

Mystery solved, it is the dial with Roman numerals, and not Arabic as described. The watch is for my wife, and while it is a beautiful watch, she prefers the look of the stick markers. We stopped at the AD today to look at it, and decided to pass and hold out for the dial she wants.
