I really like it. I'm a big fan of the stone dials but unfortunately not able to afford them.

I like the fact that it is minimal and different.

Not sure I would purchase that even if heavily discounted. 60-70%

Its a nice novelty but rather defeats the object of wearing a Rolex to glean accurate time from the dial.

I love this piece, or the day date version. Check out bloodstone, onyx, and lapis lazuli dials as well.

I would love it if I were a pistachio wholesaler. Otherwise not so much.

As stated, it needs to be experienced in person. Although not for me, anything unique is always interesting so for that reason alone it has merit. The 'sizzling' color is a lot to take in, especially on a full gold Prez.

I suspect it's the outre / unusual kind of thing that excites at first, but might become tiresome rather quickly. But, what do I know? If you like it, that's all that matters.

I do like it, but it’s probably not one I’d choose out of all the DD dials.

Yes! I love malachite

What do you think? Would you like to see a modern Datejust or a Day Date with malachite spheres?

Personally I love that dial. I first saw it on a notorious alderman here in Chicago Ed Burke.

Not really, but I do like the black onyx dial which is somewhat similar.

Nope

Classic case of since it was made by Rolex, 50% will like it. If it had been suggested by a poster, that person would be pelted with rocks.

I like the looks, but I would like it more if it had a few hour markers along the way. I have many minimalistic clocks around the house where you have to "guesstimate" the time; I like to be able to tell time with a bit more accuracy on the watch on my wrist.

A bit too bright for me, but - like the Leopard Daytona - I can appreciate that it would have its fans.

I would like to have at least 1 factory stone dial DD or DJ if there are. Nice novelty for me, something to wear as a quirky watch.

I wouldn't buy it, but to each their own. If you like it, that's all that matters.
