Rolex 1601 Vintage "Wide Boy" Datejust - Which is the better dial color?

Do forum members think a Rhodium dial is more aesthetically pleasing than the Gray, or vice versa? Which one do you like better on the vintage Datejust?

Tuff call...both look good.
The minute markers and hour markers look better than the current ones.

I personally liked the rhodium dial since I tried one just yesterday. Gorgeous!

The way the light hits the Rhodium in that first pic, I would say Rhodium all the way!
