Wow! This is the most beautiful Rolex Day-Date I have seen yet. Of course, you have to like a green dial to appreciate it. And I just love the applied Roman Numerals on the dial. The absence of lume might bother some people, but I think it adds to the beauty. Not normally being a fan of days/dates on dials - especially in white - I can totally forgive this one as it is just totally and unmistakably Rolex, as it should be. The combination of Everose Gold and Olive Green is brilliant IMO.

Humm, not sure I'm a fan of the color combo - would need to see on IRL before I decide how I feel about it.

The more I look at the colour combo, the more I see an amazing richness. Although owning one is out of the question, I must see one IRL at some point. There is a certain brownish tone in the Olive green, which the Everose gold seems to bring out. I also noticed that all of the text on the dial is also gold. I can only dream of what such a watch would look like with no day or date function, which would obviously not be a Day-Date

I really like the olive dial. It's unique.

I love the original one. The Harrods LE is too blingy for me.

That is gorgeous in my opinion, usually not a fan of green dials though!

I just looked at this photo again and noticed the hour indices are odd. They use Roman numbers for the even hours but 10 only has one side of the X. 8 is funny also, it appears one side of the V is missing. Maybe it's the lighting....

If you look at the Everose pic at the top of the page, all the bits of the Romans are there.

That green just doesn't do it for me. Give me those numerals, yellow gold, and a black dial? I'm about $30k poorer overnight...
