I'm a huge fan of the stick dials, so it's between the 1st and 3rd ones for me. Between those two, that's a tough one...I tend to gravitate toward lighter colored dials for dressier models, so I would lean toward the 3rd one. But it would be almost a coin toss.

Toss up between 2 and 3 (rightmost) for me. Slight nod to the third if I had to pick. But maybe that is because it is a better picture...

The first one on left is very nice in person...probably my favorite of the 3.

Really, I don't think you lose with any of those!

The one of the LEFT for me! Great contrast and the dial colour looks fantastic in different lighting.

Although I prefer roman dials for DD's, my vote would go towards the chocolate motif stick dial. Everose Gold and chocolate dials are just an amazing and beautiful combination.

On a rose gold DD40, the chocolate dial with sticks for me. Can't lose, though. Looking forward to the incoming!

2 or 3.

Although they look great w the rose gold, Not a fan of chocolate dials, they seem less versatile to me.
