I thought the glacier blue dial was a platinum only option, but saw this.

And this listing:

Have never seen this dial in person. Have you? Is it not the same dial as the platy DDII? Best

Gagebuilder · 30 March 2014, 01:13 AM

Listing is already down.

still on the web site, though.

possible dial change??

crowncollection · 30 March 2014, 01:13 AM

Cannot get it on white gold unless you alter the watch after purchase

VICI · 30 March 2014, 01:16 AM

The font on "Saturday" looks off...

thomaspp · 30 March 2014, 01:19 AM

Thanks gents. I understand jomashop to be a fairly reputable grey market dealer in NY.

My suggestion, call Rolex in NYC (212) 758 - 7700 --- get the model number of the white gold with glacier dial and then contact a "seller"

Maybe it's the way the picture was taken but my DDII looks different

thomaspp · 30 March 2014, 02:15 AM

Anyone?

Tridor · 30 March 2014, 02:20 AM

Day wheel font and cyclops magnification look wrong, although that could be due to the photo. Also, agree that glacier blue is a platinum only feature. Could be a Frankenwatch or a complete fake. I don't think it's 100% Rolex authentic.

I'm interested in the answer to this as well as I just bought thus configuration in platinum. I was also under the impression that the glacier blue dials were specific to the platinum models. I have to think they sourced a glacier dial and fitted it do a white gold ddii.

Congrats on your platy! Yes, waiting for some of the TRF expers to chime in myself.

sleddog · 30 March 2014, 09:41 AM

It is a Platinum only configeration.....and yes, that Saturday font is all wrong. It's not even centered on the opening!

HL65 · 30 March 2014, 09:45 AM

Glacier blue is only made for platinum DD/DDII but if someone can source a dial which they can outside of US they can have it put on a WG one. Have I seen people do this? Of course and one of our very own here Jocke.

jjnd08 · 30 March 2014, 10:02 AM

I'll want to do this one day. I love that dial, but I don't think the platinum versions have a fluted bezel; and to me, that is one of my favorite parts of the DD lines.

Muzz · 30 March 2014, 11:29 AM

The posting also mentions diamond markers but the dial doesn't have them. This shop however is well known. My guess is a dial swap and the date wheel is off one cog adjustment.

Yeah that "SATURDAY" upon closer inspection looks very wrong.

HAGWE! ..

It does look funky, I agree.

Yes. No platy has the fluted bezel S far as I understand and I agree with you that the bezel is a nice feature I would want on a day date.

Interesting... I have bought winners, boxes, tools and others from jomashop but never a watch. I also understand they are a relatively well regarded grey dealer.
