Icon19 Wow! Has anyone ever seen this Datejust before? It's right off Rolex's Website...

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen this in person or possibly even owns one? I think it's an awesome piece and if I knew where to get one, I would probably buy it.

Just go to an AD and have him order it from Rolex. It should probably take 3-4 weeks.

See it's quite strange at my AD. Everytime I ask him to order something, he says it cannot be done for items other than what he has on display. So in other words, he only says he can order "has had" items. Now I know this is probably BS, but I wouldn't want him ordering in a watch before I got to see the dial in person anyway.

Don't give him your business time to visit another AD

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard of.

I would question whether or not he's an actual AD.

the way orders have been explained to me, is it depends if it is in stock at rolex USA (new york, i think). if it is, 2 weeks. if not, a little bit longer.

He must be having some trouble clearing out his inventory to keep up with the regular shipments. Can't say I blame him BUT it is not a good way to deal with customers.

Nice dial - Rolex must have brought out a few more dial choices for the DJ...

My former AD is a grey dealer now. He tells me he can get anything I want. If my (non AD) store will get anything I want, shouldn't your AD do the same?

Very interesting dial as Rolex calls it "decorated". I have seem similar before but not this exactly, very unique. As for the AD, I am sorry you are not getting the service you deserve, I too would find a new AD

Are the arabic numbers applied gold markers? Or are they just painted on the dial? It's hard to tell from the picture.

I believe they where gold markers, not painted on. I'll go visit my AD and see if he still has the watch and take some pics of it.

This site might help
