Trying to decide between WHITE or RHODIUM dial...?
Hi all. I lurk a lot here, but rarely post.
 On a pre-owned (mint) 116233 Datejust with Roman numerals, I am trying to decide between a) White dial or b) Rhodium dial. In the past, I wouldn't have thought twice, but I owned a 116233 with White dial a few years ago and it really stands out (it is gorgeous). But now I am thinking that while I still love the 'classic' look of white dial, the rhodium dial might be a bit more subtle? Any input appreciated. I would wear this to business work (I'm not in sales) and on weekends to worship (house or worship; not "worship the watch"  )Thoughts? |

With yg two tone, only white. Rhodium is for stainless or white gold only.

Rhodium for me. With the white, there's too much going on between the romans, fluted bezel, jubilee, SS, YG.

White dial on a TT is a classic look

Rhodium or champagne dial matches the TT well

The Rhodium coloured dial in the OP's photo looks pretty weird but I always thought Rhodium matches a WG bezel

The White Roman 116233 is incredible. Clean. Oozes class. Great with dress shirts on weekdays, perfect with a crisp polo shirt on weekends.

I am a fan of the white roman dial on my DD but the Rhodium dial brings out the gold on the bezel and bracelet on this TT model.
I would choose Rhodium for this combo.

Rhodium in WG or stainless. A TT watch looks best with a white dial, in my opinion.

I like both but voted Rhodium as it is a little different.

I'm with others in TT I'd go white. I have a SS Rhodium and love it (even though I never get to wear it, since my wife has confiscated)

White. The hands blend into a Rhodium Dial Face too easily making them difficult to read.
