Rolex Day Date Dial Need Help

Hello there!

I stoped by a jewlery store early this morning and saw this Day Date dial, I really like it, they are asking $500 for it -- I dont know wether this dial is an aftermarket one or not, I bet it is tho, it really looks good on the Day Date, what do you guys think about it?

Most likely an original dial but clearly with after market diamonds.

The Jubilee dial is a great looking dial in real life and actually not as busy as the picture shows.

I'd pass just on color of facets being so off from dial face

Nice dial I noticed the 1 marker is closer to the day window than the 11 marker

I hate it, but that's only my opinion. If you like it buy it.

Dial seems to be ok . . . diamonds probably not genuine Rolex . . . .

Price is really low !

I settled with plain silver with diamond markers on my DJ. The silver jubilee dial doesn't look that good on the watch in person...it's way too busy.

My friend has a black jubilee dial with diamond markers and it's less cluttered because you can't really see the "Rolex" pattern on the dial.

Rolex do issue original Dials like that.
It's call the Champagne Jubilee.
A new from Rolex will set you back $2700.00
