Which colour of Oyster Perpetual Datejust’s dial is better in your oppinion?

Hello, I have boutht a Rolex watch recently. After watching some models at local store I decieded to go for an Oyster Perpetual Datejust with bracelet made of steel with addiction of white gold. Although there was one thing I couldn’t deciede - the colour of the dial. There were 2 possibilieties - dark blue and black. Eventually I went for a blue one and would like to ask you - which would you choose? Does the blue one goes well with, for example, black suits? Thanks for your responses. 😋

Blue. Rolex blue dials are stunning. Pairs well with most colors of clothing and adds its own splash of color.

The best dial color is determined purely by personal preference. I would avoid black suits, though. Charcoal or navy are much better options and far more versatile. I’d reserve black for formalwear only.

I'd personally go with Blue, my logic being that many other Rolex's come in black, the entire sports range really... with a few exceptions / editions.

But in reality, you cannot go wrong... the white looks fantastic.

If it were my only piece I'd choose black but color is such a personal choice, you can't go wrong with any you choose. I chose slate roman for my DJ41, love silver too.
