Have waited a long time to purchase my first Rolex- have decided on the the new DJ2 with smooth bezel. Trying to decide between Black and Blue dial. I've tried both and they both look great. This being my only nice watch, my thought are black is more versatile and more timeless. I'm concerned down the road I may grow tired of having a blue watch. Thoughts?

pbv · 19 February 2013, 02:49 PM

Agree - I would go with the black....... but thats' me.

<<mike>> · 19 February 2013, 06:00 PM

Me also have the same problem...either silver or black dail.
Silver for classic. Black for sporty.

So in the end bought black. Wearing it everyday.

Psmith · 19 February 2013, 06:05 PM

Black for sure

Lgear080 · 19 February 2013, 10:31 PM

I just bought a blue roman very cheap.
Always admired, so now ill have it for awhile.
Will post in the fs shortly. Can't keep everything.

Black for me.

AH0RSEY · 20 February 2013, 03:14 AM

my tale.... I had a DJII ( 41mm blue faced with a white gold fluted bezel ).... but there was something I just couldn't quite work out that wasn't right for me....

Then I saw a DJ (36mm) black face and fell in love ( no WG fluted bezel and numerals instead of stick markers ).... that was it - the fluting and the thick stick on the DJII IMHO just didn't look right ....

so the moral of the story is - make damn sure you like the size of the watch ( 41 or 36mm ) and choose whatever colour you like ( cos you can always change dials and whether it is a Roman, Stick, arab face etc later ).

Most of all.......enjoy the hunt......!!!! try on loads and my vote goes for BLACK

Blue w/roman if it were my choice as I wear alot of blue.

Otherwise, I would say if you want black, the black w/roman is a very nice piece. I believe it has a matte dial which is super sexy

Blue

alubin · 20 February 2013, 10:28 AM

blue roman

vicjack · 20 February 2013, 10:41 AM

I have a DJII with the black face and fluted bezel....I love it!!

rxp369 · 24 February 2013, 03:58 AM

Ahorsey, funny, how we all have different tastes/perspective. I went with the DJII blue dial fluted bezel and love it. 100% agreement. No matter which you choose, make sure it's the one you want (size, color)

VICI · 24 February 2013, 06:53 AM

I'd choose the blue roman 41mm

Royalex · 25 March 2013, 02:14 AM

Another vote for blue roman

Actually, depending the dial that comes with your choice watch, you may not be able to change. On the DJ, you can always switch out of any dial and switch into any stick dial, but not necessarily the other way around. If you buy a watch with stick numerals, Rolex will not allow you to switch into any rhodium dial, nor into most Roman numeral dials. There may be other limitations, but you'll have to ask an AD for the scoop.

Blue for datejust, black for gmt2

patrike · 23 May 2013, 03:23 AM

Bluuuueeeeeeeeeee

Brandon(phila) · 23 May 2013, 11:33 PM

If it's your only watch....Black

I own the Blue stick and love it....but I have been though multiple Watches and have 4 currently....3 with a black dials (SD, GMT II and Speedmaster)

But if you really love the blue, in a year or so you could always do a dial change and it's fairly inexpensive from RSC.

The other day I saw a pic of a DJ II / Smooth bezel / dark grey Roman see if you can try one of those on. I don't like that dial with the flutted bezel but with the smooth bezel it looked really great

Good luck

votoms · 30 May 2013, 03:22 PM

Black dial. When I bought my fluted DJII it was between Black Stick and Grey Roman, I chose Grey Roman!!! Love it!!!
