What do you reckon to these?

I'm not sure about these two.
Looks like they put the hologram on the wrong side.





What do you reckon

Great fan of Roman dials but that particular dial might be a little bit hard to read in certain light.

Agreed! That BLUE on the first one is a wee bit disappointing. Nothing compared with the BLUE that I love and know so well!!

I love the Romans, but do prefer the black dial to the blue.

I have a feeling that the blue one looks better in person. The Blk/greyish one is a winner!

I like those dials too.

I really do like the speciality dials with the textures.

Some of my favorites would be black pyramid and black tapestry only because, not only are they beautiful, but they do not make them anymore and are a little more rare.

Nope, the ROLEXROLEXROLEX things just doesn't do it for me at all.

It's like seeing some of these Asian students with billboard-sized Honda stickers on their rice rockets. The knobs don't seem to think that people don't know what a bloody Honda looks like. It's just tacky.

Now lately, I've seen a 116200 with stick markers and a two-tone grey dial (there's a darker grey circle in the middle). Now that gets my thumbs-up.

Neither dial does it for me. They both look to be too busy and I do not care for the fact that they just say "ROLEX" on top and "DATEJUST" on the bottom.
