I am thinking to get a datejust midsize, with roman, jubilee and fluted bezel. The problem now is the colour for the dial.

Struggling between blue and silver. What do you think?

My DH actually thinks that smooth bezel is good enough but I think fluted bezel looks more elegant. Agree?

I agree about the fluted bezel. I like the silver dial, very subtle, but make sure it isn't hard to read.

I've heard that silver is difficult to read too, especially under sunlight. Hm.... that makes me having doubt getting a silver one.

Is blue dial uncommon actually? It seems seldomly hearing people talk about or suggest it.

I had a blue one which got stolen. I do love the blue. But it just feels a bit stupid to get the exact same watch.

If I get a dial without diamonds now, is it possible to upgrade the dial with diamond markers later?

If yes, how much does it cost?

The reason I ask this because I am not leaning to a dial with diamonds at this moment, but.... who knows, I might want it later in future. Just see if there's an option for such upgrade.

I have a silver dial and it is not hard to read at all. I had the jubilee dial before( the one with Rolex written all over the face) and I actually changed it to silver- it's very easy on the eyes and really luminescent. I love it now!!!!

I have the exact as the first shown but my bezel is not fluted. I have mid size. In a few years I'll get mans size blue face with diamond numbers in stainless. My fathers rolex is gold and is over forty years old. So I know I have a great watch.

This is just my own view of the matter, but….
I wanted to buy one because of the excellent craftsmanship and the fact that I loved the design. To "test" whether I really loved it or not (in my case, the Submariner date), I bought a similar "homage watch" (an Invicta Pro Diver that looks similar to Submariner in many ways and is almost the same size) and wore it a year and a half. Since it's a cheap watch, i thought it would be an easy and inexpensive way to determine if I really enjoyed the size of the watch and the general design.

I did! Once I got my Submariner (which is secondhand by the way), I was so enthralled at how good it is: excellent working order, clear sapphire crystal to see the dial so well, every part and piece seems so well made and so on. Looking back at the Invicta, it seemed a toy watch in comparison!

Anyway, I love Rolex for many reasons, as above, and also because it does feel like a piece that will not lose (much) value over time, and for some models, becomes more valuable. Many of the popular fashion watches cannot say that (not that everyone needs to buy items because they are an investment, though). Plus it is so beautiful! I love to look at my watch! :D
