Gotta love those romans!

I've always had a thing for 'roman dial datejusts'.

A few days ago I bought myself this sporty beauty; oyster, sapphire, engine turned bezel:




Here is it's 21 year older, dressy brother:




Not much has changed during those 20 years


I seem to remember that the roman numeral dial was/is also offered on the Daytona(?)

What Rolex'es (vintage or present), has been fitted with roman numeral dials?!?

If I were to buy a DJ, it will have a white Roman dial on it. Just classy looking.
