Rhodium dials - no longer in production?
Are Rhodium dials no longer in production? Or has Rolex just changed the name to 'Slate'?
In another thread, HogwldFLTR and Goose_104 brought to my attention that the YM40 and the DJ36 are no longer available with a rhodium dial. It appears the Sky-Dweller is also only available in 'Slate' as well. Anyone got any info on this change? |

Ive just checked the website and the Rhodium option seems to be gone however slate is there and looks identical to the rhodium - think its merely a name change?

The dealer I spoke with last told me it was a change in name only.

Like 904L to oystersteel. “Grey” would have been better, but saying rhodium sounds a lot cooler than saying slate.

As I mentioned in the other thread, Rhodium is what my AD called it a couple of weeks back. Evidentally it'll take a while to straighten out the mind set. I don't see any coloration differences on the site. My Slate dialed Daytona looks much lighter colored than my Rhodium Yacht-Master!!! Thanks for posting the thread!!!

Does that mean that all Rolexes that were originally Rhodium have now doubled in value?
WINNER!!!!!!

also guys, It was "Dark Rhodium" - slight difference :)
I cant see any value changes seeing as its just naming convention - the colour is still the same.

I think of slate or dark rhodium as what you'd get now on, say, the DJ41 Wimbledon dial. I think of rhodium as a lighter shade, some might refer to it as silver.
