Roulette date option on Datejust in UK
I've been looking to buy a stainless DJ 116200 with silver stick face and have been given conflicting advice by a number of ADs I've phoned. Some say yes the roulette wheel is an option with an 8 week wait others say either it's not an option at all on this watch or only with a black face. I've seen a number of pictures of the identical same watch on this site (nice comparison on this thread http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=144863 with 2 pictures from watchaddict3 , black and red showing of exactly the watch I'm after)
Question is whether this is available in UK - my thought was it wouldn't make any difference as it will be coming from Rolex anyhow ? Any recent knowledge of the roulette option would be very helpful - I think my local AD isn't giving me the all the options. |

The Roulette wheel is only available on certain model combinations..
Your Dealer should have a catalog that will tell them, but sometimes the sales staff is unfamiliar with how to find such information.. It's best to go in to a knowledgable Dealer and discuss options with a catalog in front of both of you.......... searching by phone is a fruitless activity..

I just bought a 116200 with blue stick dial and jubilee bracelet with roulette wheel.
I thought all the new 116200's had them.. |

On the page opposite the dial illustrations for the white metal Datejusts in the master dial catalogue, some dials have an asterisk besides them - these are the ones available with a roulette date wheel

Also, be careful with an AD who says they will swap a dial to get you the Roulette Wheel, because sometimes the hands have to be changed to; otherwise, you get a Franken-Rolex. Really best to 'see' it all in person.
