Dark rhodium or grigio grey for the 114300. What's the difference?

As seen at the top of the page HERE.

Both are reference 114300's and both have the blue hour markers. I've seen the 114300 listed with a grigio grey dial one other place but can't remember where.

Rolex doesn't show grigio grey for the the 114300 on their website.

What's going on?

It's the same dial, two names.

There are only 3 dials available for the 114300. Dark Rhodium (grey), Red Grape, and Blue.

Anything else is one of these dials by another name

Grigio just means gray in Italian. I assume this is a translation issue. In Italian, the dial is called rhodium grigio, I suppose.

Yes, it's a bit confusing being referred to in different ways. For now it's simple with just the three but who knows they may roll out new colors. I'm guessing the 39 is selling well. At least four of us have bought one.

Just odd that a company would post two pictures side by side of the same reference with the same dial and call it by two different names.
