DJII Rhodium Blue Arabic. Why is everyone selling?

Hello,
I am interested in purchasing the DJII Rhodium Blue Arabic but I noticed that there are about 15 for sale on the forum, way more compared to other dials.
Do people not like this watch or does it not hold it's value?
If you have one do you find yourself not wearing it as often as you thought?
Or is it just the most popular?
Any theories would be greatly appreciated.

As long as you like who cares how many are on sale? In fact, it's to your advantage in driving down the price.

Sounds like you will be able to get a great deal on one! That is great news. You will love the DJII, I just picked up mine yesterday and I chose this dial and couldn't be happier...

Man thats a great looking watch! Right now it's between the Rhodium Arab and White Stick. Im yet to see the Rhodium in person but it's still an incredibly tough choice.

Thanks! Another great choice is the dark blue stick dial, but it sounds like you are leaning toward the lighter dials. If I was in the market for a lighter dial, I would choose the white stick. It is very crisp and sporty looking in person. The bottom line...you can't really go wrong, they all look pretty darn great.

to the OP

Its one of the more popular dials for the DJII the more popular more sellers will try to get ahold of them to resell

Im not too crazy about Rhodium dial Rolex watches....

I had a chance to buy a TT Rhodium dial Daytona at a great price and I passed it up.... It just didn't look right on my wrist.

One thing is for sure: the Rhodium blue Arabic DJII looks awesome; cant wait to actually see one in person.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping this was the case and that people weren't just hating them left and right.

I think because it can felt abit feminine after a little white. But each to his/her own really.

As noted above it's likely just because a lot of watches have been sold with this dial. If you look at listings for older DJs, as another example, many will have champagne dials for the same reason.

I purchased the DJ II with rhodium dial and love it. Perfect size and the blue Arabic numbers are amazing. Like others said, it may be the most popular II which is why they are available. I haven't seen one at my ad, just on TRF.

I bought the DJII in my avatar a couple of days ago and I am now on the hunt for an SS blue roman dial. As long as it appeals to you buy it!

My problem with the Arabics on that dial is that the ones on the bottom (4-8) are upside down and the 6 looks just like a 9. I think it would be much improved if all the numbers were placed upright all the way around the dial and I would have considered a purchase but not the way it is now.
