White. It looks cleaner

Ny325 · 21 February 2020, 04:58 PM

White.

Setarip · 21 February 2020, 05:02 PM

I was going to purchase the YG with White / Romans. The SA / AD Mgr suggested i take it outside and view in natural daylight. His comment was that the white dial can appear somewhat stark in different settings. Which is what I found to be true.

I sometimes regret not keeping the first watch my wife gave me YG/Silver with Romans. But I’ve always preferred sticks with lume. I exchanged the YG Silver for RG Sundust / Sticks. It’s a beautiful watch.

The YG with Black dial is somewhat different - it’s very classy and can dress up or down easily.

Good luck. First world decisions for sure.

White. Timeless. Presidential.

HippoPAPAmus · 21 February 2020, 05:48 PM

In YG, white dial. That RG sundust stripe is beautiful.

If its only between these 2 get the white. Unless you want the Black with the diamond markers. The black on that is a sunburst black and the diamond markers make it pop.

Otherwise get what I got :)

pearson1995 · 21 February 2020, 06:40 PM

As a one watch id go with the white, the romans are amazing.

However, as the owner of a white daytona, I wanted some dial variety so went black. No wrong choices here

Apparently you can even swap dials out when servicing, at a cost of course.

One last thing, to my knowledge the black diamond dial doesn’t have lume on the hands, so the sticks I would say have slightly better legibility, at the cost of the sunburst dial of the black diamonds.

You can’t swap dials between diamonds and non diamonds, officially anyway

Andad · 21 February 2020, 06:57 PM

White dial for casual wear.

danwang0520 · 21 February 2020, 07:11 PM

Between the two, BLACK.

Personally, Silver with Roman.

Thanks I agree. To me it was no contest unless they made a yellow gold with blue dial. Then that would be difficult to decide. Green might be nice also in YG.

I have always liked black dial watches in any metal and my latest DD II had the black roman dial. Looked great and was very dressy to me. I sourced a champagne roman dial and had my AD switch the dials. I prefer the champagne, for now, but have both dials. There is no wrong answer and of the two you have listed as choices I would go white dial for just the difference. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

jltait · 21 February 2020, 09:49 PM

White with romans for the win. If you were talking black dial with baguettes that would be a different story.

I believe you already have a BLNR or some type or professional black face model if memory serves right, so definitely white on the DD for contrast.

RaZCaL · 21 February 2020, 11:20 PM

I like white more on the DD but wouldn’t mind having either. Both are beautiful pieces!

Jim Smyth · 21 February 2020, 11:37 PM

Didnt you already have the Black one and got rid of it? I love Black and Gold myself.

I'm not a fan of Romans, too busy looking. Black sticks from those two.

PhilLynott · 21 February 2020, 11:50 PM

White with romans is my favorite version of the DD but definitely can't go wrong

watchwatcher · 21 February 2020, 11:58 PM

The deconstructed romans were made for the fluted bezel-the interplay between the two is nothing short of magical.

jcj · 22 February 2020, 01:30 AM

White with Roman, for me.

franktehtank · 22 February 2020, 01:32 AM

On that particular watch, I'm more partial to the white dial. Either are great!

Kiddodoc · 22 February 2020, 02:26 AM

I prefer sticks to Roman numerals and think the best dial is silver. Baguettes really make it pop!

NachoNeal · 22 February 2020, 02:53 AM

White NON roman would be my preference.
