Ddii
i was really hunting down for this particular dial for my husband since march! took a flight to kuala lumpur once and once to taipei and once to hongkong just to look for it but it was not available. finally i found one at home (singapore) but it is now post 1st July which is after the 7% increase in price and after Rolex had imposed a strict new regulation on no discount policy (but i managed to get a minimal 5%) off. this particular dial with the gem-set roman index itself is much larger than the normal roman index, hence, it makes the bezel looks much more balanced with the entire watch imho. anyway, thanks heaven he likes it.
 thanks for reading and cheers! .. jennifer |

I have a 22mm Breitling rubber strap on my Deepsea right now the AD installed for me. It is a perfect fit. Where did you get your information from? Sorry I don't mean to hijack this thread. |

Your right the dial on that model does balance the size of the face and bezel.

Hopefully he (James?) likes it otherwise I guess you might drive one of the other Italian exotics into the pool or something in a fit of indignant anger? (Sorry, couldn't resist. Just recalling a rather weird post one of you--your other half as I recall--gave on the Patek Philippe forum of another major watch hobbyist website).
Exceptional Day-Date, regardless! Best, Adam |
