Rolex date just completely authentic ?

[BryGuy11]

Hi All,
I purchased a "1994-1995" DateJust two tone 18K gold steel with white Roman numerals on the dial and they are the Serif type style, is that rare or custom bastardization of parts ?
Also no lug holes present ?
Please help, Thank you Bryan

Congrats, and welcome!

Looks good from here. While I wouldn't necessarily call that dial "rare", it is factory correct, and not a custom/refinish job. Also, for that reference and year, there shouldn't be any lug holes.

Hard to tell from one pic too much but nothing stands out as fake. White Roman dial

I am going to have it looked at today by independent 3rd party, however I was worried that all of the roman numerals were facing straight up as opposed to the 30 degree radial pattern of almost all other Rolexes with the roman numerals.
That and lack of pictures of this configuration made me believe it had a different dial installed.
Thank you for the feedback.
Regards, Bryan

No, the orientation of the numerals is fine on that particular dial.

There were several different Roman numeral dials available on the Datejust over the years (with the one in question being ceramic I believe).

Here is another known-original example:

It's a Porcelain dial for future reference regards

I like the watch however,
I decided to return it tomorrow and keep looking for the one I originally preferred, same watch with the Bold Roman numeral hour markers.
The Datejust with the bold Roman dial markers which was pictured in the stores online sale, so when I received that one I called straight away and they said they F'd up and to send it back although seeing the pristine shape it is in I said I would think about it and have 14 days guaranteed return as it was not the item described.
Thank you for all the feedback.
Regards, Bryan
