I might be a newbie..and yes Rolex headers, and corporate colours maybe green but I have not seen to many watches other than the Milgauss GV and the LV that have green in them...

and these are modern watches, not any vintage ones that I have come across in my short rolex time...

GREEN ROMAN... It is an instant classic...

esm · 31 December 2009, 09:26 AM

SS GMTIIC has a green text and 24hour hand.

YG GMTIIC 50th anniversary has a green dial option and the black dial had the green text, 24hour hand (i think) and green date wheel.

And I'm hoping (!!!!) an anniversary Daytona will have some sort of green on it. That would be the one for me...... me thinks ;-)

Think I might say Ditto. But, I actually think both are very nice and either look is great. The black is slightly more of a classic look but then, the green romans may be less common in the long run. You have a tough choice to make. But, you can't go wrong because both are gorgeous.

I think the only lume bits on the Arabic are the hands.

This threads seriously need more pix.... I would link up some real life TT pix of mine but I'm posting on an iPod.... and haven't mastered the skill of linking or cut and paste on this thing yet (don't even know if it is possible or not....)

thought as much mate.

I LOVE the roman's but I need a lume to tell me the REAL time when I wake up in the night.

Oyster bracelet on a Datejust? Not on my watch. Much prefer the Jubilee.

good point.

& i can't understand why Rolex don't offer any choice.....

vukotab · 31 December 2009, 12:45 PM

Romans and frogs for me!

viper · 31 December 2009, 12:47 PM

green roman!

Strut99GT · 31 December 2009, 01:24 PM

I prefer the black, but you asked which is the most "striking," and that is the Roman. It's pretty wild-looking, and different than most other Rolex dials, plus it has the distinct "lop-sided" 9-marker.

JJ Irani · 31 December 2009, 01:30 PM

Of those 2, definitely this one.......

baseballduck · 31 December 2009, 01:36 PM

Ditto with JJ on the black arabic. Best of luck with your decision!

JJ's pic of the TT/black/arabic is a stunning combo, maybe my next Rolex. Anyone know what Canadian list is on that model?

Ricochet · 31 December 2009, 02:17 PM

WOW, thanks TRF for your replies.

My slant was towards the black arabic until I saw both in these pictures:

Isn't the illuminated green roman numerals absolutely stunning?

carlhaluss · 31 December 2009, 02:27 PM

In this case, black arabic dial. I would definitely go for the green, though, if there was not that single white marker at 9 o'clock.

I realize the reason is to balance out the dial, with the date window at 3 o'clock, but it just looks wrong to me. The black arabic, with the number at 9 o'clock just looks a lot sharper to me. Why, oh why, did they decide on the white marker on the other one instead of a roman numeral!

I know...."Relax, it's only a white marker!"
Cheers,
Carl

Z-Sub · 31 December 2009, 02:32 PM

I have not seen either in person. Both look great in the picture and I can see why it's hard for you.

I vote for arabic in this case.

DanP · 31 December 2009, 02:34 PM

The only thing I dont like about those two is the single stick of lume.It just looks lost in the dial IMHO. Otherwise ROCK ON! :)

Dan

Watchdog · 31 December 2009, 02:41 PM

Really like both, and I would have to see them in person to make an absolute decision . . . however, the one that struck me from the release and the one I considered purchasing was the green Roman. I think it is fantastic.

Ricochet · 31 December 2009, 05:02 PM

The impression I get when I view the black arabic is "elegance," like it's telling me to wear me when you're in your Armani suit. The green roman tells me I can have her in all occasions. Do you feel the same?

gregdolley · 31 December 2009, 11:09 PM

Black dial for me.

RRGHOST1 · 1 January 2010, 12:33 AM

It would be the Black i think, but i would like to see them side by side or on my wrist to make a final decision as both are nice. I still prefer the DJ2 with plain baton white/ivory dial with the WG bezel as i dont like the look of the numerals upside down in either Roman or Arabic, but thats just me.Whatever you get will be nice.
