Here is a picture of mine with the Jubilee diamond dial...the Dial doesn't photograph well, but it is very easy to read the time. My dial is black jubilee and the diamonds and silver hands show up great.

I had trouble getting good pictures too. What color is your dial? Black?

Anyway, here is a similar dial to his..congrats on the watch and I waited 4 weeks to get the Jubilee combo that I wanted. I am glad I waited and got what I want, the dial is spectacular!

Hi, that looks really great with the diamonds! I wasnt planning on buying my rolex yesterday, "just browsing" when I looked at this one and was within a reasonable price range, my wife actually said "you can get it if you want", I was shocked! I really like the face & roman numerals. Anyway, the face is black, but in very bright light it looks dark grey.

I like you guys jubilee dials but one thing that would bug me is no lume in the dark. I appreciate the small amount of lume I get in the movie theater or a nice restaurant with dim lights with my watch. I really like the computer dial.

Exactly...In bright light a very dark grey, but with the diamonds and silver hands...I find I can still tell time, no problem...

In darker lighting the watch pops, the face is black and you almost can't see the jubilee detail. I am sure the silver roman numerals show up as well as the diamonds in mine :)

I love it! Congrats on your watch :)

Kaya, that is a pretty watch. Are you on Cloud 9? What's your poor ol' Tag doing these days?

Hey Lisa,

My Tag got sent off to be uber polished....they are going to attempt to get the dents out of the bezel. We will see...they are pretty bad...and I noticed my wedding band has some huge gouges also...

For the life of me..I can not figure what it is that I am doing to dig these kind of grooves in my jewelry.

Thank goodness I only wear the watch and one ring....I even took the new Rolex off to wash the car....


How is your new watch? I love it...I think the big watches are too masculine for a petite wrist....you made the right choice...

Kaya

Aykun,

The last digit '4' indicates WG only.

Also, all FLUTED bezels are made from precious metal only, either YG, WG or Rose Gold (also known as "Everose" gold by Rolex).

The domed, smooth bezel is steel....denoted by the last digit '0' on the model no. - 116200.
