Hi All,

I am on the fence, as I am in the market for a TT watch. I have considered the Sub-C as well, but I will only be wearing this watch to fancy affairs and such. The Sub-C would be too sporty, and I do not know how great the blue dial would look with suits/dress attire.

The DJ2 is within budget (pre-owned) and works perfectly for a fancier watch than my SS Daytona. I am open to other suggestions though

Anyways I am having a hard time choosing which dial is best for me. Ivory or Slate/Green. I personally like the sunburst aspect of the grey dial (as well as the roman numerals), but my Father in law has the ivory dial and in person it looks stunning and very rich.

Let me know your thoughts :) Sorry in advance for any "borrowed" photos

I think the slate would be absolutely a winner if it didnt have that so poorly placed lume baton at 9 oclock. Regardless, don't let that deter you.

I think I would go with option 2.

melrob1 · 20 December 2014, 03:51 AM

Ivory. Not a fan of the green markers.

tkerrmd · 20 December 2014, 03:56 AM

Ivory is classy slate sporty so I go slate, I do like the green markers

AK797 · 20 December 2014, 04:21 AM

Blue subc for me.

Agree. Think this would be the best pair for your Daytona.

Solo118 · 20 December 2014, 05:18 AM

Thanks all... Keep the suggestions coming as I have the weekend to think about it.

Invictus Maneo · 20 December 2014, 05:32 AM

I vote slate. That is one cool looking dial IMO!

Urosfan · 20 December 2014, 05:33 AM

No bad choice

Eric Chan · 20 December 2014, 05:42 AM

Slate. The best dial combinations for the Datejust II.

This.

otisc · 20 December 2014, 07:24 AM

Ivory! First of all, the sticks look much better than the romans. Second, one you notice that white 9-o'clock marker on the grey dial, it would drive me nuts personally.

Andrés G · 20 December 2014, 11:02 AM

Slate

1995akcoop · 20 December 2014, 11:12 AM

Slate all day! The dial alone is gorgeous and the green accents it well. Its next on my list

T01 · 20 December 2014, 11:18 AM

If it was between those two, the slate wins. However, the as an alternative the SubC would be above both.

Annan · 20 December 2014, 11:24 AM

I like them both but the ivory would be my choice.

regnant · 20 December 2014, 10:30 PM

My fave slate dial

Racerdj · 20 December 2014, 10:33 PM

Voting very close but ivory is my choice.

Solo118 · 21 December 2014, 11:26 AM

Looks like slate has the slight edge. Dad-in-law has the Ivory and I could not stop staring at it last night :( this is one hard choice!!

GMeTym · 21 December 2014, 01:44 PM

Ivory for me, crisp and perhaps more classic look, plus lume. My other dial preference is black with solid gold romans, really pops.

Jlsd · 21 December 2014, 02:59 PM

Slate is very versatile as it goes well with everything and is unique it this model with green Romans

captainnice · 21 December 2014, 03:25 PM

Ivory

BZA · 21 December 2014, 07:31 PM

Slate!

bp1000 · 21 December 2014, 07:35 PM

I just picked up a slate & green dial

I saw it listed, went to see it and bought it straight away, it really does look good and I'd say a little unique

Joearch · 21 December 2014, 08:00 PM

Recently had a similar situation and went this way. Love the WG bezel and charcoal face.

toneafficianado · 21 December 2014, 08:32 PM

Have you seen the blue/Romans DJII? Another beautiful alternative..

I wish they would stick it on a TT DJ2!

Honestly looking for a TT only as I have a SS Daytona for daily use.

Solo118 · 23 December 2014, 03:38 AM

Ivory won the poll, but unfortuately it's no longer available :(

Thinking of waiting this one out, maybe another ivory will come up, but I am still not 100% sold on the slate dial even though the wife gave it the nod over the ivory.

C.R.J. · 23 December 2014, 04:21 AM

The slate dial looks great, but for the TT I prefer ivory.

jnkay · 23 December 2014, 03:08 PM

Slate for me because it is a cool dial but also because I don't prefer sticks on DJ 2 models.
