Hi everyone, New to the forum.

Just bought a 116300 silver-faced DateJust II for my brother. I'm wanting the black-faced one but have been told by an AD that the black-faced one is in very short supply in Canada. Can anyone in Canada confirm this or have you heard similar?

News to me... In Toronto humbler town jewelry have them...that's where I bought mine

Well, I've been to 2 AD's and both have told me the same thing.
No black face, smooth bezel DateJust II currently available through their networks in Canada.
One told me probably couple months & the other one told me 4-6 weeks.
Supposedly if I put a deposit down, I can get one of the first ones allocated from the next shipment Rolex Canada receives from the homeland.

4-6 weeks is not a long wait. I purchased my Silver face Datejust 2 41mm in Toronto Canada. I had to order in advance and wait 3 weeks. Funny thing? They had the white and black face in stock in the display case

I suppose it might be hard for them - have you reached out beyond their personal network to other ADs in major Canadian urban areas?

boywondergq1 · 12 April 2013, 10:14 AM

Not that I have heard. You can place an order and it will take a month at the most (when the orders get filled).

I forgot to post an update, long story short decided not to wait any longer so I ended up taking home a white faced, fluted bezel, DJII 116334. I've got a very, very shiny, sparkly dress watch.

Very nice, congrats!

SohAIS · 21 May 2013, 07:19 AM

Great. Congrats!

kilyung · 21 May 2013, 08:25 AM

Congrats. I'd love to get that model if Rolex would ever release it in a new jubilee bracelet.

Very nice, as that is my favorite as the white faced DJ II is my favorite in the DJ line!

Yeah I think the jubilee bracelet matches the fluted bezel better but I can live with the oyster bracelet for now

If I was gonna be a 1 watch guy, I would have held out for the black faced DJII

Here's my current "Terrific Trio": white, black & silver, my 3 favourite colours!
