I ordered the turquoise and can’t wait to get it. I have plenty of white, black and blue watches and really love this new turquoise as I wear a lot of blue. The yellow, green and red just aren’t my colors, the rhodium dial with yellow gold markers just looks odd to me.

The silver dial is the only one with gold accents... so, it seems a little more special to me.

That being said, Rolex did a great job with the color variety at launch. They should introduce a new color dial every six months (and sunset 1-2 colors every 18 months), and OP will be the hottest in the lineup in no time.

I normally radiate towards more sedate colours and would choose the silver option but, for this reference I would buy the more playful turquoise blue.

It would be nice to see some of the vivid colours in the collections we have on this forum.

None of the new ones do it for me. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately).

I love the look of the turquoise, but I wonder how much I would actually wear it. Might be one of those great to look at, but not wear. But for $5,900 why not?

The best dial color is the one that isn't offered: Pearlescent white

Edit: That said, among current offerings, the sunburst metallic blue is clearly the winner. Too bad about the double-batons. Would have been nearly perfect.

I'm probably showing my age or rather my maturity I'd prefer to think but the flashy colors just don't do it for me at all.

I'd go with the conservative grey out of all of these but hey to each their own. Its very subjective and everyone has their own personal taste.

Turquoise -> Silver -> Yellow -> Green -> none of the rest

I do have the 39mm rhodium so no dark ones anymore for me.

anyone else triggered that the bar graph colors do not correlate to the dial colors?

Tough to choose just one!

I picked turquoise, with silver/gold a close second.

I like the green and yellow.

My AD told me they got the most interests in Turquoise. Mostly people buying for their wives.

I’m surprised black has the same number of votes as coral red [6]. I thought it be way more popular...

Personally none. But I voted yellow because I think my daughter might like it.
