Which dial on a YG DDII ?

I already bought mine with a champagne dial and hour markers. My AD offered a free swap to another dial after I suggested I was considering a change.

I'm looking between three options:

Original dial

Black with gold Roman numeral

Black Romans! Romans and the DD go together like bread and butter!

Black with Romans. I agree with the previous post about Romans and DD's compared to bread and butter. My own personal preference would be a white dial with Romans, but black and Romans is very nice too.

Black with Romans. I like white with Romans or white concentric with Arabic numerals.

I think the stick markers are a bit too small on that champagne dial. Plus, as others have said, Romans look fantastic. You should also check out the Arabic Wave dial... very modern, but very unique.

YG with Champagne Dial with Diamonds is the must way to go!

Given your choices I voted for the black roman dial. I suggest you take a close look at the silver roman dial as well. You need to see the silver roman dial (not just pictures of it) to fully appreciate it. The black roman dial is a bold choice; the silver roman dial is understated and, in my opinion, very classy.

YG Romans against the black is a bit much for me, so, I would go for the all-black Arabic. Love the concentric pattern of it. Or, as Charles suggested above, a wave pattern?
