Tapestry Dial for me. I'm not normally a fan of yellow gold but I'd definitely wear that one.

Out of these two, I like the tapestry dial best and much prefer the "sticks" (batons?) to the numerals. I have a black dial 16233 DJ TT, but mine has a plain black face without the pattern which, based on the pictures, I don't like too much. Sometimes it is necessary to see them in person.

I prefer arabics over sticks, but white over black.

Not a fan of tapestry, but white still works better for me. Better yet, champagne with diamonds since a two-tone bracelet already provides sufficient contrast.

Not sure if RSC is able to put a diamond dial if it didn't originally come with one though...

I prefer stick dials on DJ and DD. So White gets my vote.

Tapestry

I vote for white, but I'm biased on this one.

Here's a thought.
All have said the classicly elegant tapestry dial trumps the black dial that only its mother could love.
Why not buck the trend and chose the ugly jubilee, after all you couldn't chose between them and said you like both, right?

By Ugly Jubilee, I meant the ugly Jubilee dial, not bracelet.
The Jubilee and President are my favourite bracelets.
I even wear it on my 16700!
