Do you think that Rolex might offer an all-steel, domed bezel DateJust II in the future? Have they mentioned or even excluded that possibility at this point?

Thanks

Haven't heard anythin about it, but then again with Rolex you never know until Basel. Might hunch is that it's a no. A domed bezel on a SS DJII would make the watch less expensive, so what would incentivize Rolex to make a watch that they could mark-up less? Also, might be wise to save the domed bezel for the Platinum DDII, just to make it a little more exclusive...

It's been about for a couple of years now, and Rolex haven't touched it. I might be inclined to think they're going to leave it as it is

Sorry. I was going to post the same thing, but searched for a similar thread first. Once i found it though, I figured i'd bump it since Basel's coming up in about 11 weeks.

I'm not understanding the logic behind no domed DJII, and no super jubilee to go with it (although i'm sold on a rhodium arabic w/domed bezel and oyster bracelet).

I don't know but I hope they do, there are twon things I don't like in the DJII.

One is the fluted bezel, looks massive.
The other is the tiny crown, looks out of proportion.

It would be perfect for me with a domed bezel and the crown from a Milgauss.
