which dial do you prefer and why

Xenon · 1 July 2020, 03:05 AM

White.

Too many other watches have black dials.

Blue will get tired real fast.

Pictures don't do the white dial justice

(TT 36mm)

But I also love my black dial

Depends what you've already got.

I am perfect to ask because in just the last year I had all 3 on the 41! White is too much for the 41, in my opinion. Dial looks so big and it also makes the dial markers look too big. Switched to black and it was very nice but was too similar to my 114060. So I got blue. This specific blue is the most beautiful dial I have EVER seen! Looks black/navy blue and then pops with color at the right moment. Crazy nice. My contact told me the waiting list for blue is really long, especially on the fluted and jubilee. If I had a second pick I would go silver.

One other thing. I am sure that those that don’t like blue or like another color better are sick of hearing about the blue. The reason I didn’t get blue the first time is because I didn’t want to wait. Looking back I would have waited. BUT keep in mind I personally liked it more. I don’t think blue or any certain color is universally better or more timeless. That personal experience you have with your watch and the stories you will tell makes it timeless. Don’t feel the pressure because of these polls or opinions here. You will force yourself to go with a color dial you don’t really like best. That is why the datejust is so nice, great color, size, dial, bracelet options on this watch!

The Rhodium is classic gorgeous.

Blue. There are many beautiful blue dials available today - DJ, Sub, SD, YM and GMT. You also shop for vintage references with blue dials - DJ, Sub, Turnograph for example. This blue dial "fad" has lasted quite a while!!

DoctorA · 1 July 2020, 10:07 AM

Blue!
There are many threads with the exact same poll. Each one of them To my knowledge came to the same conclusion!....... blue
But I suggest you go with the color that appeals to you most

campfire · 1 July 2020, 10:17 AM

Blue for me. That's my fave color. But ironically, don't have a blue dialed watch. DJ41, smooth/jub or smooth/oyster on the horizon though.

dafuture · 1 July 2020, 10:36 AM

I owned the grey because I thought it was the most versatile, but my favorite is really the white/Romans dial. So classy looking.

nyyankees · 1 July 2020, 10:44 AM

Dark rhodium here. Sometimes it looks light, sometimes dark.

Rhodium on a DJ41 is very special. Goes with anything you throw at it. Blue is cool too but the rhodium is the clear winner for me.

Black for a only watch, because of its versatility. Blue for a larger collection or mostly casual wear.

LyingFlat · 1 July 2020, 03:07 PM

I personally have a white TT DJ41. Absolutely beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. However, I am waiting for a blue dial DJ41 with fluted bezel on a jubilee. The blue is by far my favourite.
