Cherry Day-Date??

[Lol-x]

I got this off the Rolex website, but a message came up saying that this dial/watch combo was not available in my region...

Has anyone seen/know of this model????


I think Rolex call this a 'cherry' dial.
I have seen it on a strap/clasp but not with a bracelet.

[Star Ferry]

From my location, the Rolex site does call the dial "Cherry" but only shows a strap option.

[Muzz]

Looks incredible!!! That is such an interesting combination!!!

[Danny83]

Thats beautiful

[subtona]

It was an option on strap in the 36mm version

Never seen it on bracelet.

What size is pic?

[GB-man]

That a 36? Never seen that dial...nice.

CHERRY DIAL
Model features
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.

FYI that verbiage about the dial is exactly the same for every day date dial

Never seen this on a bracelet. I thought it was only available on a strap.

[Mr. K]

Interesting. Undecided if I like it or not, would have to see it in person first.

This is the link to the image on the Rolex website,but I can't get it to come up on a page.

They have the WG version at South Coast Plaza.
If it was 41mm I would have swooped it in a heartbeat.
It's a sunburst magenta dial, which is something else to look at.

That is interesting because when I click on the link at the top of your post it takes me to the Rolex website and a pop-up window displays this message:

"The model that was shared with you is not part of your region's online selection.
Official Rolex Retailers can provide assistance with any watch in the Rolex collection."

I then called a local AD and they said they cannot get that model.....

Same pop-up here.

I just tried it, and it gave me my nearest ADs, so I guess it's available in the States.

If you are seriously interested I'll be glad to put you in touch with my contact at my AD. I have bought all my Rolexes from the same sales person, HIGHLY recommended

Thanks for that, you mean your AD that gives 40% discount???

[Cru Jones]

Some kind of limited edition?

Looks sharp !

[Lol-x]

I didn't know that Rolex now has 'region specific' models....

Just when you thought there was some predictability to the way Rolex operates, they throw another curve ball at you.

[Flex368]

The official dial catalogue lists this dial as an available option for a 118239 so an AD should be able to order it.

I haven´t seen this version on display yet but other DD36 variants with president bracelet and dials that were originally released with the newer 11813x strap models, i.e. the green dial in a 118238.

[crowncollection]

I get the same message it's not available to my region. ??

I recall a limited edition turnograph for the Japanese market just before it was discontinued

According to the site here in the USA there are 237 options listed for the 36mm alone, including this combination I wouldn't have expected.
Gold, smooth bezel w oyster bracelet.

[jmiicustomz]

Little bright for my taste but stunning non the less

[beer]

this happens all the time never understood why

[bardm]

Why would Rolex discriminate their customers that way

[nick c]

Cherry DD is cool

many companies do they just think certain products are not worth selling in certain areas due to demand*

*should edit - predicted demand :-p

[yld2rob]

I like it!

[UNLVino]

Undecided, though it is the only DD I've seen that I think looks good with a smooth bezel.

[AS1]

very interesting!
