This is so unlike anything I’d traditionally desire, but I just like/want it. It’s fun and you know it’s great under the hood. Anyone else?

Meh. Doesn’t do it for me but to each his own

Calatrava r · 12 April 2021, 12:35 AM

I would have to see it. I think I would tire if it quickly.

Dr. Robert · 12 April 2021, 12:37 AM

It’s growing on me!

Maxy · 12 April 2021, 12:39 AM

Under the hood? Quite the opposite!

Alimamy · 12 April 2021, 12:41 AM

I think it evokes the beauty of nature and adds visual interest to the dial. I am a fan of sunburst dials on certain watches, and I think their technique here of manufacturing the dial so that the play of light shows palm fronds adds value. If I were in the market for a DJ I would be going for it. Something different!

ROLEX* · 12 April 2021, 12:47 AM

Not unusual. Last time they had flower dials and now leaves.

Future will have ladybirds, bees, butterflies, simba, pumba etc...

So to speak

. The guts being a reliable Rolex movement.

Given the palm dial, I actually think I’d prefer this Datejust with the smooth bezel. This goes against my typical affinity for fluted and jubilee.

daytonaTBR · 12 April 2021, 01:04 AM

I like it too, first datejust that I want. Trying to get it in the same exact spec you posted.

Thuilln · 12 April 2021, 01:08 AM

Never. You’ll get bored within a month.

LJubel328 · 12 April 2021, 01:10 AM

I really like it. It was one of my favorite from last week's releases (though that isn't saying much).

It is similar to the colorful OPs, they evoke a sense of playfulness.

SearChart · 12 April 2021, 01:13 AM

I like it!

Would be a nice addition to my 34mm Olive Green OP.

onshow · 12 April 2021, 01:19 AM

It took me by surprise that Rolex would venture into producing such a different and unique dial but it’s grown on me, I actually love it on the fluted bezel and jubilee. I think it’s going to be one of those unique pieces that collectors are going to take a serious interest in, it’s unique and it’s got the different shades of the famous “Rolex Green”.

According to my AD, it’s been one of the most sort after new models that people have been asking for. Good luck getting one basically!

Jackie Daytona · 12 April 2021, 01:30 AM

I like it, and want one in a strange way as well. Based off my wife’s reaction to me telling her that I don’t think it’s going to happen though. Seems to be a pretty divisive model.

B2 Stealth · 12 April 2021, 01:55 AM

I shudder

Rado63 · 12 April 2021, 01:59 AM

I think it's high on the fun factor, I say why not.

Oyster Sauce · 12 April 2021, 02:19 AM

I’d like this green on a DJ without the palm pattern. Great color

JodyHighroller · 12 April 2021, 02:28 AM

I love the silver palm dial on two tone RG fluted and jubliee. Looks very sharp!

Eric-London · 12 April 2021, 02:28 AM

I have a fluted bezel version ordered for my wife who currently rocks a 41mm DJ blue dial with fluted bezel.

Krash · 12 April 2021, 02:40 AM

I like the blue motif.

I wish Rolex put this dial on their OP models, more symmetrical looks.

Cheers

Personally I think the weed dial is absolute boss and looks much better in the flesh! Very much want, and if my name wasn't down for a 36mm explorer it would be for this!!

I'm glad Rolex does stuff like this, but this one is not for me.

ericg · 12 April 2021, 03:44 AM

I think it will sell to women who want a fun Rolex and can’t afford a Daytona

Marcjvr · 12 April 2021, 03:46 AM

Rolex is becoming the new Swatch Watch

I feel as if Rolex is trying to play the dial game like Grand Seiko and they should leave it up to the masters.

dazzle66 · 12 April 2021, 04:56 AM

Let’s have it right , if any brand other than Rolex had put that dial out you’d all be calling it blind .
