116200 DJ Question

Do all new Datejusts have the alternating red/black date?

The AD told me only some of them have it on a random basis, does sound right to me.

Is this a V serial enhancement?

Thanks.

Not all DJs have the alternating date....it depends on the dial you choose.

The red/black comes with some specific dials, not randomly. It was over a year ago so I don't have a link, but I saw a thread that specified which ones get the red/black date wheel.

I don't recall where I saw it (it was at least a year ago), but specific color dials came with the red/black date wheel. It was not random.

I saw it on one with the black dial. Looked pretty pretty nice.

What do others think?

I'm not sure what to make of the Roulette wheel....Part of me thinks that the DJ is a classic design for dressier occassions, so the red date is a little out of place. Another part of me says that a little harmless flair never hurts, and it helps dress down the watch.

I suppose my short answer is, it could be interesting, but it's definitely not on my checklist for DJ must-haves.

As people above have said, it depends on the dial you choose - they're marked in ADs' master catalogues in the dials section with an asterisk

I love the roulette wheel also ! My Z series 116200 does not have it (roman white dial).
