Roulette Date Wheel

Hello, can the Roulette Date Wheel on a datejust be replaced with a regular wheel? What is the general cost to do such if so...thanks

Not a choice I'd make, and I'm not sure anything but an aftermarket replica would fit correctly. And the value would drop precipitously.

Curious - what do you dislike about the roulette wheel?

I wish they made the roulette wheel for other models of rolex watches as i think they look great,would like one on my Sub and would look good on a Pepsi GMT.

Although I love the roulette, I agree it may not look so good with this dial. Is Rolex changing the dial? If so maybe they will also change the date wheel.

You can buy used authentic date wheels for under $100 on the internet.

I was wondering if all current stick style datejusts have the roulette wheel? I actually really like it alot and wouldn't get a datejust without one...

Does anyone know exactly which models have the roulette wheel? I was told ALL stick dial datejusts (ex. black stick, white stick, blue stick, silver, etc.) Are there any others? Are there any other's that don't?? I am in the market for one so any help would greatly be appreciated!
