YG Day-Date 40 with white dial and romans

I recently saw a new dial on Rolex USA, It is white with Romans (not silver). Has anyone seen this in person? I would like to see a picture of it next to the silver (star burst) version. I had the champagne version with diamonds but it was difficult for me to read. I am having trouble getting used to bifocals and don't live near a large AD.
Thanks,
Danny

I've been after this one for a while since Basel. I've seen it and prefer it over the sundust

Yes, and expect about 20% discount off list price as demand should be fairly low on this release once initial demand is met.

This is one of the nicest DD40 dials. Thinking of getting a YG DD40 to compliment my RG DD40. I think having 2 DD40 is too much?

Have you checked out the Motif dials? There is a white motif dial but I believe sticks.

Bottom line: Deconstructed romans + fluted bezel=amazing.

I personally like the silver and champagne star burst dials because they give the dial a little more depth and love the way they catch the light and play with it...but any/all of them are winners.
