Search the TRF Owners Thread here ----> (http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=275634). I'm sure there is one or two owners that have posted theirs.

Great thread. I've been through it before. Just looked again and did not see a black out dial.

Love to see wrist shot pics if anyone has any.

My father has the WG DD II with blacked-out dial. I could probably get a good wrist shot next time I see him.

It's hard to depict, but this black-dial DJ2 has a non-glossy, matte-like finish to the dial. It's a cool watch and I enjoy wearing it. Hope this is helpful.



Regards, -rick.

Sorry, just noticed that you are looking for DD pics. Thus, my watch below is probably 'not' what you are looking for, lol. Hopefully, someone will respond.

PerioBear, In those pictures the dial looks matte black. Do you know if that's the case and if it would be the same in rose gold? Thanks.

The dial color is matte black or charcoal. Sorry, but not the best photo with the plastics on.
Sorry, but I've only seen this dial with YG, WG and platinum. I've never seen the rose gold version in person. I assume it must look stunning!

I think the rose gold one had this dial in brown. They called it the chocolate wave dial if I'm not mistaken.

No, this watch has a black dial. There is also a bronze wave dial for the RG DD ll.

Good looking watch. I like a higher degree of legibility, but that looks really good.

Didn't even know this exist! Love it. Fluted bezel would be a grand slam though IMO.

Smooth bezel is platinum version. Fluted bezel is the WG version.

Yah, the degree of legibility is what held me back from pulling the trigger in the past. However, now that it has been retired from the Rolex line I've had no choice but to hunt one down!
