Favorite Rolex Dial?
I’ve owned a lot of watches, but think I’ve found my two favorite Rolex dials.
- YG Daytona Panda (Oysterflex). The sunburst is fantastic. 116518LN - Deepsea DeepBlue (Cameron) 126660 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don’t own these but the WG Oysterflex Daytona and the Blue Sky Dweller. SUPERB dials.

Two stunners.
I would put the Submariner “Bluesy” dial in the conversation. |

The Dblue is by far my favourite dial
Edit: for a Rolex |

You cannot ignore the coolness of vintage Day Date Diamond Stella dials… I only wish I had one (or 2)…

Yesterday I had a chance to try on a BLRO Meteorite and there is no way pictures do that thing justice. Truly next level! I’m sure the Daytona Meteorite is equally stunning…

The Hulk is an absolute chameleon. It goes from totally black to a very green gold sunburst.

I'd say for me, the JC DSSD and any blue sunburst dial.

Agree on the 126660. Just bought that as my first Rolex.
I also like the blue submariner dials and I’m beginning to be intrigued by the Hulk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

No picture but the new 36 DJ fluted dial is a winner

I vote the Hulk, and it's not even a close question in my opinion.

#1 dial for me is the discontinued White Oyster Perpetual (OP39, OP36, OP34, ref. 114300 116000 and 114200 respectively).
It has a certain unique, granular composition conferring an "egg-shell texture" at a microscopic level, difficult to directly perceive at a casual glance, but gives it a spectacular character completely different from any other white dial (especially the bland/stark white of an explorer 2, or DJ, etc). It catches and shifts the light, changing from an almost-silver, to a white, to egg-shell off-white... at times nearly metallic in its quality, at other times nearly matte and paper-like. It's truly incredible. I find this not only dynamic, but also harmonic, as it blends perfectly with the 904 steel bracelet, offering a great backdrop to the lume-filled white-gold hour markers and handset. #2: Wimbledon dial. Sunburst slate dial (previously termed rhodium) is stunning and looks incredible with the lacquered roman numerals. I think any permutation of the Wimbledon is gorgeous, one of Rolex's best designs.

A lot of great options listed here so far but this new glacier blue Roman dial takes the cake for me. I’ll admit I’m biased but for good reason.

Yacht-Master with stealth lume dial:
I’m also a fan of the silver serti dial: |
