Yachtmaster Dial
I'm confused, why do the dealers advertise the current YM's as Rhodium dial when Rolex call it Slate? No mention of Rhodium that I can see from Rolex. Any ideas TIA.

Just a name change. Same dial. There's no actual rhodium involved, and since rhodium prices have gone up 15x in recent years, Rolex probably didn't want to give a false impression that precious metal is involved.

Just a name change nothing more as both Rhodium and slate as just coloured paint on a brass dial.
