Date numerals in red

Seen a Datejust with the date numbers in red as against the usual black. Worth purchasing or would this be seen as a negative if I were to sell on at some point?
Thanks

It’s a roulette date wheel. Even numbers in black, odd numbers in red. Uncommon but not particularly rare

The "roulette" date wheel alternates red and black numerals.

These wheels were available with certain dial combinations and putting one in a different combo would be "incorrect:.

Of course, this is a cool date wheel.

Hi. Not sure, did not wind it on, but AD did not mention it was a roulette wheel.

Roulette date wheels used to be common on Datejusts with certain dial colors. Not sure what other models may have used it.

I would love a roulette white Roman dial fluted bezel DJ with a jubelee bracelet, I would probably pay more for a roulette date wheel but that's just me.
Also to note the turn o graph has all red dates

Think the gold GMT has a green date wheel to match the GMT hand? (wish the steel one did too!).
