Hello, I have a chance to purchase a Datejust with a salmon diamond dial (all genuine Rolex). What opinions do you guys have on this dial for a man? Any input would be great! Thanks

jdc · 20 December 2009, 03:10 AM

if you need others opinions its not the dial for you

I never really care what others think, so no color is off limits for me.

But I have to agree with the above statement. If you need validation, then it's not for you.

Not a fan.

It's either black or white. I have no white yet, but will whenever I get a Daytona or Expy II!

Gerardus · 20 December 2009, 04:03 AM

Not for me.

petesjag · 20 December 2009, 04:15 AM

If you like it then definitly get it!!!

Most dont think diamonds are manly either, but I like them so I got a diamond bezel... LOVE it.....

Most who? I've never heard that one! I love the look; especially on a DJ or DD.

Had my salmon/pink SS DJ for 11yrs and it still looks stunning!

If it floats your boat get it, it has held its value really well and I wa soffered more for it this week than I originally paid for it!

subfanatic · 20 December 2009, 04:37 AM

And I wondered if anyone would reply! I love this place. I'll have to think about it for a while. Thanks everyone!!!

This is exactly what I was thinking.

vukotab · 20 December 2009, 04:52 AM

If you like it, go for it.
There`s nothing wrong with ANY dial color, as long as you like it, `cos you`re gonna wear it!
And I think that salmon looks good on Rolex.

jimbones43 · 20 December 2009, 05:04 AM

Personally I like it. It's unique and classy IMHO. Do you have any pics?

Good luck,

Jim

I'm getting my wife a mid-sized DJ with this dial for her birthday, but I see no reason a man can't wear this color. Hell, I have a salmon Tommy Bahama shirt that I love. If you are secure in your manhood, wear what you like. Who cares what others think?

I have SEIKO JDM with a salmon dial and I like it. Other people have complemented me on the dial color.

Looks really good with gray suit, sport coat or sweater.

Wear it and disregard what others may or may not be thinking.

good one.

kcmo · 20 December 2009, 06:46 AM

If you like it then I say go for it! When I was contemplating my first Rolex, I considered a DJ with rose/pink dial and romans but ended up going with white instead.

That is what i am looking for next!

funny this thread should start, i am not really that concerned, but had considered whether it was a little 'feminine' to be wearing around the office... whether i would look a bit like a pimp rapper wearing salmon and rose gold on my wrists!

I love it. Do it and post pics for us!

JJ Irani · 20 December 2009, 07:05 AM

I have seen some Salmon dials for men, especially in the Air-King model.

Personally, I wouldn't opt for one, but below is an Oyster Perpetual which my sister bought when she was in Auckland in October 2005.

subfanatic · 20 December 2009, 07:09 AM

That's the basic look JJ, with a white gold fluted bezel,date and diamonds. Thanks for the pic, I didn't think to take one.

daveathall · 20 December 2009, 08:00 AM

If you like it then why not? not a DJ but a salmon dial on my DJR all the same, I love it.

Around here many people like diamonds but there are 'other' places where diamonds are less popular.... I LOVE THEM TOO.....

SDDS · 20 December 2009, 08:39 AM

the important thing is what u like.. if u like it go for it

slcbbrown · 21 December 2009, 01:10 AM

Get it.

gone-rolex-mad · 21 December 2009, 02:23 AM

Had one myself. I loved it. If I were to buy another DJ the salmon would be a contender!

Gster · 21 December 2009, 02:34 AM

This is mine, given to me as a present by my 'now' Wife (at the time my Fiancee!)

Still a beauty and I wear it often!

Sonny Crockett · 21 December 2009, 02:41 AM

I have seen this watch and it is stunning.
