So I'm thinking of buying a Tuxedo dial Datejust...

.....and I just need a few more excuses. I'm most probably going to go for the SS version with smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet setup. Can anyone post any pictures of theirs?

It's this dial....

It's especially classy on the jubilee bracelet.

Agreed, gorgeous dial, would look great with jubilee and maybe even a fluted bezel (don't know if they make that though).

Very nice watch; the dial reminds me of those little stripped Christmas mints.

That one and this one were my top choices. Either look great, I found that I didn't like them with the Oyster bracelet, the Jubilee made all the difference to me.

Good luck, and post pix when you get it!

I love that one - 2 tone grey tuxedo dial on Jubilee bracelet. Just need the WG bezel and you are done. You should be able to find a good seller on here who can get you a new one for about $4800-4900.

GREAT WATCH! Don't hesitate!

The steel/silver tuxedo dial is one of my DJ top 2 choices. I found it to be pleasantly different looking and a bit sporty. I especially liked the roulette date feature- gave it a little extra zing. If I wore more black I would have equally considered the black/silver tuxedo face. I also preferred the smooth to the fluted bezel with it, and just in general for a stainless watch.

Just my

Nice watch! I think it would look more elegant on the jubilee. But what's the super jubilee JJ was referring to?

The Tuxedo is a beautiful dial. I liked the one I saw in person even better than any pics. Very classy. Good luck and post photos when you get it.

It's a stunning watch in person

One of my good friends from med school got one from his wife for their engagement, and he loves it. If it's calling to you, definitely go for it without hesitation

Or what about on a high gloss gator strap? Would look super dressy, and have that sort of Art Deco appeal.

I found this dial in my opinion looks better in a picture than it does in person. It just feels like its missing something :-(

Yes they are very retro looking reminds of the Rolex dials back in the 1940-50s then they called them bullseye dials.
