I have the DJII with the silver diamond dial. It is the most beautiful watch. I find it much easier to read than the Rhodium dial. The hands seem to blend into the Rhodium dial, but jump out more from the silver dial.

Thnx all.. Purchase very soon! Found and secured. ;) I'll let you all know at that time.

votoms · 30 May 2013, 03:25 PM

116333!!! The slate looks amazing. I have slate with Roman on SS DJII.

Rameez-Q · 31 May 2013, 03:01 AM

out of the two I would go for the green romans but I visited a AD not long ago and the following is my favorite out of them all

oilman666 · 17 June 2013, 01:30 PM

I was having the same issue, I am going TT with Ivory/diamond dial. Easier to read and can be worn with Gold rings, at work or out "dressed up".. I was torn btwn the TT w/ green romans and the SS with diamonds... so I just put the best of the two together...

Now to find one from a trusted TRF member...hint .. hint... Good luck in your personal choice. Cant go wrong either way.

Just pulled the trigger on Datejust II 116334 Steel with Rhodium Diamond Dial. Thanks everyone for all your help. It will join my TT GMT II. It will be my dress/tux watch. I will post pictures soon!

BZA · 19 June 2013, 11:58 PM

Congrats!

samsam · 12 September 2013, 08:06 PM

Apparently, I forgot about this thread. Here are some (late) pictures.

samsam · 12 September 2013, 08:09 PM

Few more..

powerfunk · 12 September 2013, 10:20 PM

Hey fatcat, try manually winding it to give it a full power reserve (40 turns). Sounds like nighttime wear may not be enough to keep it wound.

And congrats Sam!! Excellent choice

520Matt · 13 September 2013, 10:55 AM

I like your choice between the two! Well done!

Matt Did you get if from BB?

amvd · 14 September 2013, 03:58 AM

I would say 116333, my favorite

samsam · 21 September 2013, 06:20 AM

Thanks all..

samsam · 2 February 2014, 11:09 PM

As this was my first thread, I would like to say, I am glad I did join TRF. I would like to also add that I am super glad I didn't pick the TT green roman. I don't like it anymore, I now feel its dull and not timeless… That; however, is just my opinion.

Cheers!

fisherman79 · 6 February 2014, 06:47 AM

Most consider stones for women. I do too, unless its between the case lugs of a Patek.

oilman666 · 6 February 2014, 10:41 AM

Nah.. Diamonds a a mans best friend!! I have more diamonds than my wife, but none, yet , in my watch.. But soon

Diamonds are for girls!

Rondineli · 6 February 2014, 12:53 PM

I was also torn between the same two watches that the OP had in the first post plus the 116334 with blue arabic numbers on white. But, after a couple of trips to AD, I bought the 116333 green romans on gray, two-tone... I am loving it. Cheers for differences in tastes

That IS a nice piece.

I was torn on that too..

but diamonds are classic, although may be too "blingy" for some tastes. love em both.. get em all!!

. my only issue is the amount of knock-offs out in the wild, but that's a issue for a different thread.

Royalex · 12 February 2014, 12:30 PM

Diamond dial is a good choice, you have made a good decision to choose it.

kyodo · 27 February 2014, 02:37 AM

Are the roman numerals on blue azure dial are made out of white gold? Or its just a plain steel?

The hands and numerals are made of white gold on any (not sure about platinum pieces) Rolex dial.

TT Green Romans. I'm thinking about buying that very same watch. I worry it may be too blingy, but I think it is an absolutely a stunning piece.

I'm not much of a gemstone guy, so the diamond dial doesn't appeal to me.

In the end, get the one that sings to you the most.

phdezra · 25 March 2014, 06:24 PM

I vote Romans. :)

Rolexpharm · 3 June 2014, 09:12 PM

get the two-tone date just with the green roman, looks great to me

brandrea · 3 June 2014, 09:33 PM

Buy whatever makes you smile.
I went with blue dial, white baton markers, smooth bezel.

scarlet knight · 7 December 2014, 12:02 AM

I was planning on getting a DJ2 with a black face and gold romans. But upon trying on the slate dial with green romans, i was hooked. The AD tried to remain neutral, but he and another employee were pumped about the slate dial, green romans.

I personally would not want a watch with diamonds. My wife enjoys hers. But that is my taste. Horses for courses.
