Day Date 2 White Gold Help Me Pick A Dial

Can you please give me your opinion on these 3 different dials?
I'm deciding between Concentric Black Arabic, Concentric Ivory Roman, Or White Roman. What's your opinion between these 3? I like the Black but it is quite dark and hard to read. Also I have never seen the Ivory in person, does it have a yellow ish hue to it?
Thanks For Your Help

Concentric ivory? Black is too hard to read and white roman is blah

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date II Watch. The Rolex President. 41mm 18K yellow gold case, fluted bezel, ivory concentric circle dial, Arabic numerals, and President bracelet. This is the model I like.

I'd go with concentric Ivory and Romans. I think Thomas nailed the logic.

Blue wave would be great if you already had a true dress watch.

I like the concentric black Arabic and the blue wave Arabic, either way it's going to be a beautiful watch!

Go for the chocolate dial. White is too monochrome and black too hard to read the numbers.

Another vote for concentric ivory or blue wave. I have a DJ with a blue dial with white gold stick markers (sorry, no pics...it is hiding in the safe today), and think it wears well with your entire wardrobe. Looks good with jeans, and incredible when you throw on a blue blazer.

i'd go white roman of the 3. but its your nickle so try on as many as possible. you may find one that wasn't on the list. that's the beauty of the dd line. soooo many options. you can even customize.

Ivory concentric looks best with that watch and metal, IMO. Normally I'm a fan of color, like blue dials, but in this case, the ivory really looks the best, IMO. Blue is a very close second.

Please find a blue wave to examine, and a couple of others.

The ivory concentric Is very nice too, though I personally
Find it bland. The blue wave is mesmerizing... Am sure you'll
Be staring at it for years to come.

Thanks for all the responses so far......
Question I've never seen the Ivory in person, for those that have does it have a Yellow hue? Or is it just an off White?
Thanks!
