Hello!

My wife had the same problem. A LadyOyster, with President bracelet.

First we chose a champagne, "Gold" dial. We meant, it fits the Gold appearance of the Watch best.

Later on, while carrying ( haha, am I on the wrong forum, shall I take the 9 mm or Tuxedo and PPK? ;-)) she discovered, that

A) the time is hardly readable, as Gold Hands on Gold background may look good, but are simply not practical.

B) the champagne dial gets OLDER, gets somewhat discoloured, and then its even worse readable!!

So, on servicing, we decieded, to change the dial.

I ( yes, I, in our marriage >I< am the BLING type! :-0 ) voted for MOP and Diamonds.

My wife is definitely understatement loving ( she can afford that from her looks ;-)), so it became a white dial with Roman Numericals.

Can only say, hat she has better taste than me ...

so if I ever get "my" DD II, it will be in YG with Roman numericals on the dial

(( pssht, but they will be on BLACK Tahitian MOP ))

;-)

... with President bracelet, to match hers!

Buy whatever tickles her fancy ;-),

Hermann
