Q: My girlfriend has a non-quickset Rolex Oyster Perpetual "Date" wristwatch, and she wants to replace the dial.

What is the difference between a ladies Rolex Date and Rolex Datejust wristwatch?
Is a Rolex Datejust dial interchangeable with a Rolex Date dial?

A: The difference is in how you adjust the date. On the Date you have to wind to hour and minute hands until you get to the right date, but on Datejust, you can adjust the date alone.

The Datejust is also a bit larger (only 2 mm).

So from what I can tell, it is not interchangable

Q: I am going to look at at Rolex Datejust for sale locally, I have seen photos and it looks like a president style bracelet. Since it is all silver in colour, am I right in thinking it will be white gold or platinum? I understand they never did a stainless steel president but could be wrong.

A: Is the Rolex that you are interested in new or pre-owned? And to clarify, are you considering a Datejust or Day-Date (a.k.a. President)? In addition to the date located at the 3 o'clock position on both time pieces, the Day-Date has the weekday between the 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock position.

A silver colored Datejust is either going to be stainless steel, stainless steel and white gold, or white gold.

If it is a pre-owned Datejust with a President bracelet, the previous owner could have had Rolex upgrade with a genuine Rolex white gold bracelet or the owner may have bought an aftermarket "President"-style bracelet, which could be either stainless steel or white gold.

A silver colored Day-Date (a.k.a. President) is either white gold or platinum. No stainless steel model.
