no bad choice here, blue looks more sporty, rhodium/slate more dressy, I.ve got my name down for either, the real answer....Both

I must admit I was a slate man and that’s what I told the AD, however I don’t think I’d be able to turn down a blue dial if one came in!

I considered the times I’d wear the watch and I wanted it to be more neutral with all outfits, hence why I chose slate.

YM has the best blue dial that I've seen on a Rolex, including blue SkyD, so I vote for blue.

Slate for me. It looks even better on the wrist than on your screen.

I know right? It's a difficult choice to make but just because it's blue, it'll always be my favorite.

Slate dial is on my list, for some reason the blue just doesn’t work for me personally.
