DD 18K YG with White Stick or Champane Stick?

DD 18K YG with White Stick or Champagne Stick?
I got my DD 18K YG last week. It has a Champagne Stick dial on it now, It needs some service like I mentioned in the previous post. My jewler sent me a newer DD with a white face stick dial. I got both watches in front of me now. Feels nice to be holding 30K worth of watches. Anyway, I cant decide on what I like better or what is more classy, white face or champagne. I intally went with the Champagne because it was the watch Tony wore in The sopranos (im a big fan), but the white face is way eaiser to read and the gold hands really make it look sharp (plus im no tony sooprano), by Tuesday I got to send one of them back. Help me decide!

Why don't you post photos of them side by side so we can get a better idea of how they compare?

I prefer a bit of contrast myself which is why I went with the white roman dial on my DJ (over rhodium roman)....but I admit that the champagne is classy too. You really can't go wrong either way. White is always more legible.

You could always go one way now and in a year or two switch it up

Personally, I prefer white dial with roman numerals. That is what I have on my DD. For that kind of money, I would not settle for something I don't like. If you like stick, then should go for white dial.

I like the simpleness of the stick, it has the small roman above the sticks. I think the whites have it so far.

Roman is nice on a DJ but a DD should have sticks IMHO. I don't like the I at 11, it should be XI.

The white dial with sticks is so beautiful.

In that configuration, between those two choices, I vote for the classic champange dial.

White with sticks. BTW, my TTDJ (Ladies) has the luminor sticks and I just love them. I have had a Champagne Dial with Gold and it is nearly impossible to read in certain lighting.

GORGEOUS DD chemist If I had that on my wrist I'd have a tough time taking it off! Plat I assume? I know the WG can be had with the same dial (though it's harder to get).
