Congratulations on your beautiful new Rolex. I applaud your choice of the smooth bezel. I like them a lot more than the fluted bezels.

Welcome to TRF and congrats on a beauty. Yes, the DJ dates are alternatively black and red......the odd dates being red and even dates being black.

Welcome to TRF. You will find this site addicting like most of the regulars here.
I did not know the date colors of red and black alternated.
Love the dial, too. Must be real easy to see in the dark.
