All black dial collection?

Does anyone here only have black dial watches in their collection?

I have a SubC and thinking about DJII FLUTED Black stick dial.

To much black?

Every collection should reflect the taste and desire of the owner. If you are happy with it, that should be enough. I have three black dials and a rhodium, they work for me. BTW, your avatar shows a white dialed DJ, is that yours?

two very different watches.

i'd think more about whether you want two stainless steel bracelet watches.

I don't think there's such a thing as too much black, especially in a two-watch collection. The SubC and DJII are two completely different watches regardless their dial colours. You can have 10 watches with all black dials and still look completely different from each other.

All my watches have black dials. Rolex, Tag, Omega. I like the look of black dials. Personal preference.

Two black in a row is fine but after that I would probably make an effort to add a different coloured dial and/or a precious metal element.

All of mine are black and I'm happy with them. I am looking to add perhaps a blue face Omega AT and a silver/white AP RO to spice it up a bit haha. Buy what makes you happy.

Well I only have 2 but they're both black (I never thought of them based solely on the dial color).
I've got a Sea Dweller (black dial of course) and the Deep Sea (again, black dial). I like the 2 watches based on their styles and the fact that they are both black dials is an aside.

Yes I sold it. But now in looking for a new watch to compliment my sub I came back to DJII w black dial. Completely different look then the other.

I love black

Here's my mostly black dial collection. Nothing wrong with all black IMHO. Buy what you like. The LB was in memory of my late best friend or I'd went with the LN.

Just had a brain fart. Happens to me at least once a day! And thank you for the compliments. If only I could purchase more...it's a sickness.

Sharp watch! I thought about taking of my 16622 for my 16610, but I didn't. Maybe tomorrow.

Have both black and white dial watches. Then I acquired a blue dial watch and another with vintage cream color dial. I love white dials to change things up.
