Olive green, as the blue is nothing close in reality as to how is pictured on Rolex's website.

Olive green looks better on the Rose Gold. If your getting the WG get the blue.

I prefer the blue. The green is interesting but it maybe one of those colors that down the road you look at and prefer something else. Blue is strong. Just my thoughts.

On WG my vote goes blue. Yellow or rose gold it would have been green

Another option :). White metal ( platinum) with cherry dial. I know it is not every body taste but it is unique.

Hi Jennifer, Glad you like this dial Color. Some additional shots for you. Hope you like them. I find the cherry Color works well with the platinum case and president bracelet.

It is correct as mine is DD 36mm. I find the 36mm is perfect size except large wrist size.
