I really like the motif with indexes best on the new DD40. No wrong choices though, they are all beautiful

I like all four, but go ALL IN which means: Champagne. Stunning and classic with edge.

I suspect if I get one dial I will source another and have the two to swap out from time to time, they all look so nice.

Bigger pic of Sam's beauty.
That silver dial/roman is awesome. I manage to see it yesterday. However, the black motif seems to fit my skin tone better. And I love the strong contrast between yellow and black. Will it be possible to purchase a dial as the option directly from Rolex Service Centre? Will be great if they can swap dials for me between black and silver.

I doubt RSC will let you keep the old dial so I would try to get one from a trusted seller here probably. Black and silver would be ideal.

Perhaps the Platinum motif dial is my favorite. One of the hardest polls to choose from! Fortunately there are no losers.

Since Ken is trying to bias the poll () I had to add Sam's shot again to level playing field

Sam PLEASE post some fresh shots of that Roman Silver :

Honestly they are all great dials IMHO.

They are all certainly great dials and hard to mess this purchase up. Also silver RN my runner up. I also love the RG dials and think Rolex did one heck of a job with this one.

These dials have continued to grow on me and I liked them from the beginning. I would love to see a yellow gold with this dial.

These are all the pics I have saved on my photobucket, however, happy to take and post fresh pics if that would help tip the scale

This is one of the few watches I've recently purchased that I am trying to enjoy offline so far it's working lol
