Here are diamonds on lugs and band . Not alll combinations avalaible with platinum models.

[superman555]

Thanks Forever. Raulex. You just made my day.

[superman555]

do you think if i go just for lugs . Keeping the dial with roman numerics (no diamonds) and nothing on bezel intact . Then will it ruin the watchs personality or enhance it.

[Raulex]

I would personnaly go for no diamond at all. It's not needed on a Rolex.

Do you have an idea on the price of these models , and is it a potential issue for you ?

If i put diamonds on dial then they dont stand out that much.

I can go for dial diamonds, diamonds on bezel

Or

I can go for Diamonds on bezel and lugs and keep the dial normal with roman numerics .

IMO you have the best 'ice blue' in the first picture.

fI you wanted to spice it up I would go no further than add the diamond markers.

Any more than that detracts from this very special Rolex.

[superman555]

i just got the price for the 118206 Platinum. The default model with everyting including the Ice Blue dial is 56,945 $ .

An additional 5000$ will be charged for the Lugs.

My budget is around 70,000 $ so if i buy the base model for 56,945 i am still saving around 14000 $. Hence price is not a potential issue. Lastly i will get around 8 % discount on the price above as well.

[superman555]

Thanks Direct. Thats a great advice. But i am worried about losing the Big Roman Numerics if i add diamond markers on dial.

I'm with Eddie!

[superman555]

Thanks to all of you for helping me out so much.

I did place my order today with my Rolex AD. I paid him 2 million Rupees which is around 20,000 $. The deal is done. My watch will be here till June.

I finalized with the Fabulous 118206 Platinum Ice Blue Roman Dial. NO Diamonds at all :-).

One thing which he told me which i didnt understand very well. The 118206 is around 800 $ expensive with the Roman Ice Blue Dial as compared to the standard Ice Blue Dial Shown on Page 1. ( There are 3 ice blue dials in total. one in diamonds, one in roman and one is normal with sticks)

[kcmo]

Congrats!!!! I'm sure you will love it! Hope you come back to post photos once it arrives!!!

[Raulex]

Congratulations, it would have been my choice too .... if my bank representative authorized me ..

Regarding the 800$ supplement for Roman Dial , it could be because the Roman letters on the dial are made of white gold.


ps: look at your private messages, there's something for you.

If i would get a bling watch i would go patek. Imho the daydate is best without the bling.

[superman555]

Yes could be the Dial Raulex.

[superman555]

Yes i loved that thing :-). Detailed.

[superman555]

Hello,

after finalizing my order i reserached a bit and checked on the prices in states, finland, germany and dubai. There was some price difference. Secondly i went double minded again on the 41mm Day date 2 or the 36mm. Hence i cancelled my order. I got my Visa for Dubai and went there to see and try them both out by myself.

I did not got exactly the same model with the same dial etc but basically i got to try out the same model with a different dial which was good enough for me. I tried it at 3 different AD and got the pictures too. The pictures are below.
Finally i have come to the conclusion that the 41mm suits me better then the 36mm and it looks better as well. I have ordered my 41mm 218206 Day Date II platinum with no diamonds at all. Ice blue Roman Dial ( not the Ice Blue Conc dial).

[superman555]

My order went through today to Rolex Switzerland. My watch will be made fresh on order and i will receive it in the first 2 weeks of July.

The price that i got finally is 54,945 $

[superman555]

This is what i ordered Exactly. I dont like the Ice Blue Roman Conc Dial.
The Picture below Shows the Ice Blue Roman Dial. I love the Ice Blue roman dial.

[superman555]

ice blue roman Conc.

Thanks for Rolexforum and all the great people here for helping me sort out all this .

[superman555]

anyone can post the Bezel options for 218206 DD II ?

[Jassen2270]

I am in love with this one! 218206 model.

[Andad]

Very nice final choice.

I like the arabics on the Pt DD II.

I am not a fan for diamonds but the diamond markers did look good on the 36mm Pt DD.

Post some pix when you get it and enjoy wearing it.

[jaketheenglish]

The Day-Date II glacier dial is completely different than the 36mm President. its a different color and the numerals are blue. really just depends on what you like best. personally i like the 36mm's color. its closer to silver but its unique.

I think you made a great choice. if it were to have included diamonds, I would have said baguettes in the bezel only.
Enjoy, it's a beautiful watch!

[floater156]

Great choice!!!! DDII Plat, very cool.
