DateJust Roulette Wheel Question..

So I’ve seen early 2000’s 116234 models with the red/black date wheel. Odd-Even days. Anyway I really like that feature but in looking at the current models of 116234 I can’t get confirmation that it’s available and what dials might it be available in. Thanks

Any AD should be able to provide this information.

You’d think..
I got two, “Good question, let me call you back” to which I haven’t heard back. I thought someone here might possibly know the answer.

Someone here will, but it will be someone with a current catalog, which an AD should have behind the counter.

If you have access to an AD, that would be better, but you never know. Someone could be posting the answer as I type.

In the past it’s been available on older year models with Black, Blue and White dials. Thanks!

I was at a UK dealership last month and asked the same question.
And they were able to show me a white, blue & black dial DJ which had the roulette date wheel.

I have a 2009 Datejust with roulette date dial. My recollection is that it was a common feature on Datejusts during that timeframe. When I purchased another Datejust this past July I asked about it and was told by the AD that the roulette is no longer on Datejusts with Roman numeral dials; I think she said they may still be available on the sticks but I'm not positive about that. I'm sure someone here can provide more specifics but I thought I would pass along my experience for what it is worth.

I think they are fazing this out. I have a 116238 black stick dial with the roulette wheel but i just got an all stainless stick dial that does not have it.

Indeed my new 2017 Datejust doesn't have it either.

My 116200 63600 that I bought in 2009 has a roulette date wheel.

It has always been restricted to certain dials and it seems to me that that's been fluid over time.

That's why I said that it will take someone with a current catalog to answer the question definitively.

In the latest catalogue I see no mention of the roulette wheel dates in the DJ41s. Nor have I seen any DJ41s with that feature.

As for the other contemporary Datejust models, I haven't seen any mention or pictures of that feature either.

Can't help you, but the roulette date is really nice. I fitted one on my YM.

The roulette availability is described in "Rolex dial catalog":
