What dial options would you choose on a SS DJ with jubilee bracelet?

Hi guys, jus want to hear your thoughts on so many dial options for datejust.
In particular the SS model with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet.
Do you prefer white? Black? Silver? Roman numeral? Baton? Diamond? Arabic? Jubilee dial? MOP dial? Sun beam? Concentric? I mean, there are so many option and combinations to choose from, which do you think is the best looking? Show your DJ please!

I would have to say my favourite dial for a SS Datejust would be white.
There are so many combinations of the classic DJ, but everyone has their own personal taste, therefore opinions will vary.

I agree with John. For a DJ, my favorite is a white stick dial by far.

I don't have one.....but I like 2 combos for the SS DJ, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet......
1. silver dial, plain baton indicies.
2. white dial, Roman numerals.
These 2 dial styles, IMHO, will never go out of style/fashion.

Light dials work nicely with the white gold bezel, I don't think you can go far wrong with any of the dials Rolex has to offer
