Over the weekend I was offered an A serial Datejust in steel, on a Jubilee bracelet, with white gold fluted bezel, and what was described by the seller as a Solodite dial.

The dial was a blue mineral of some sort, fitted with diamonds, but in my searches for Rolex Solodite dials, all that came up were Date - Day Presidents and lady Datejusts.

Is it possible the dial was original, or is it more likely to be an after-market aberration?

Thank you . . .

Two weeks ago I picked up an A serial Datejust just like the one I saw over the weekend, but mine has a factory Mother of Pearl Serti (Diamond) dial.

I was astounded by how much MOP and diamonds added to the base price, and I'm guessing the Sodalite would be be a pretty good bump too . . .

I have seen that dial on SS Datejusts just like the one you speak of. Go for it!

The watch had no papers, but it was in the inner box with the round hang tag. Nothing else.

I was hesitant to be too agressive as I already have the same watch with the MOP Serti, with all the boxes, papers, et al . . .

I like having a more personalized Rolex. My GMT II with MOP Diamond/Sapphire dial.
