Hey, guys.
I have bought a Rolex SS Datejust with WG fluted bezel and blue dial with roman numerals, together with Jubilee bracelet.
What do you think about exchanging the dial for a black MOP with diamonds or a blue dial with diamonds?
Is that tacky or too femi?
I use my datejust in any occations.
Please share your opinions with me/us

Rzani · 7 July 2014, 12:47 AM

Diamonds are a little over the top for me. I feel as though the fluted bezel adds enough bling.

Culley22 · 7 July 2014, 12:57 AM

Not really on both...but really: WHO CARES what we think. If you like it, change it up! I think it has potential to look sweet; the WG and the "white" SS...add the diamonds...should look nice!

Eric Chan · 7 July 2014, 02:10 AM

Do what makes you feel happy. However, my personal opinion is to keep your watch as is. The blue dial on your SS DJ is a classic. Diamonds and MOP is not for me.

Baselman · 7 July 2014, 02:13 AM

Have you seen the white mop with diamonds it's spectacular as a dress watch I wouldn't say no to that in a collection

vitalsignsrn · 7 July 2014, 02:23 AM

If you want to change it out, change it. A lot of men wear diamonds. I love either plain black dial or the Rhodium dial & diamonds. Could be a 2nd watch for you with the Oyster band and smooth bezel. ;-)

In my opinion, leave the watch as is. I have the same combo except for a white dial instead of blue. Its plenty blingy & classic without the added cost of the diamonds.

sea-dweller · 7 July 2014, 02:55 AM

Personally, I like the romans. But, the choice is yours.

opaline460 · 7 July 2014, 03:18 AM

Black diamond dial, no mop for me.

Jocke · 7 July 2014, 03:20 AM

Then you need a manpurse.

AboutTime · 7 July 2014, 07:42 AM

I REALLY like the standard (not MOP) black diamond dial on a DJ! My AD has a white gold DJ with a black diamond dial and black leather band that has been on display for years. I love that watch!

frank_bergen · 7 July 2014, 07:44 AM

Hi, again.
I really appreciate all comments :-)
But still not sure what to do.....
Manpurse is not for me...but all the items inside..YES!

Annan · 7 July 2014, 08:51 AM

It's your watch, your money, your preference but IMO you have a beautiful watch already.....leave it alone.

datejusting · 7 July 2014, 10:41 AM

You have a good looking watch, I would leave it as is.

crowncollection · 7 July 2014, 11:03 AM

get what you like imho

landroverking · 7 July 2014, 08:37 PM

Not a fan of diamond dials on a mans watch.

phils · 8 July 2014, 02:22 AM

I would keep the dial that you have. Diamonds are not my choice.

In my opinion MOP and/or diamonds are both tacky and femi, but it's your watch...

HogwldFLTR · 8 July 2014, 03:24 AM

There are many more interesting dials than ones with diamonds. I like lumes, Arabic, and Roman indicators myself. I was happy to have bought a DJ recently with upgraded dial as well as the original one. If you like diamond dials you might try looking for an Anniversary Jubilee diamond one.

Jack T · 8 July 2014, 03:55 AM

Rolex knew what they were doing when they configured your watch at the factory, in my opinion. A classic, I wouldn't mess with it.

frank_bergen · 8 July 2014, 04:33 AM

I really appreciate all your comments.
I am on my way to accept my blue dial for my DJ

Right that's why they made so many different design DJs because each one is the perfect watch.
