Rose Gold Day-Date 40 w/ Eisenkiesel Dial

Does anyone own a R/G Day-Date 40 with the Eisenkiesel baguette dial?

I've only seen a picture of it on the Rolex website but I've never seen it in real life or even a "real" photo of it.

If anyone owns one and wouldn't mind posting so I can see how it looks I'd appreciate it!

I'm between that dial and the chocolate baguette!

Thank you for sharing. Based on those pictures I actually like your chocolate baguette dial more. The Eisenkiesel looked a lot better on the Rolex website than it does there on his wrist. Maybe it's just the angle or the lighting. I just spoke to my AD and they said they're not even allowed to order the Eisenkiesel dial.

Of course, glad to help !

Im bias of course and contemplated adding the eisen also however it just didn't make sense and I love the sunburst effect of the choc dial more than the flat stone dial personally

Chocolate fluted with baguettes for sure.... not a fan of the Eisenkiesel - but photos can rarely pull out the real impact when held in hand. I've still yet to see or take a photo of the GMT Meteorite which captures just how striking it is.

I saw the real watch at new releases show last May at Rolex Boutique. I like it, I think it will be one of hard to get Day-Date. If I don't already have RG olive dial, I would get this one.

Yeah seems like it's hard to get and I don't see any on the secondary market but I still like the chocolate baguette more.

every model announced in 2020/2021 is basically impossible to get and imo not worth the premium right now. i also prefer the chocolate personally
