Not I at all. have you seen the new blue in person? It is a night and day different piece and an obvious issue for Rolex as they changed it back

Agreed, the new dial, as nice as it is, does not much the bezel and looks unrefined. Looks aftermarket.

Well, if the OP is still interested there is a "golden" opportunity in the For Sale section.

Here it starts again. Any one ever do a poll on the 2 different dials without diamonds with the TT, WG and YG ?
Seems like WG peeps like the flat blue and that's about all I can figure out.

Is the Pepsi C ever going to be SS. And that new Coke C will be only platinum ?

Compared the WG and YG side by side at AD, I will get a shot of them together and post soon. The Yellow Gold with sunburst dial is stunning in person!!

Currently wearing a 17 year old TT Blues. Love the blue sunburst dial. The flat blue Smurf? Meh. Just does nothing for me.

If I weren't in line to overpay for the new SD4000, the new Sunburst 116618 would be my second choice
