Which dial color should I choose?

Hello!
I have finally decided to buy a Rolex, as a form of celebration for graduating. I have chosen the Datejust 41mm, on a oyster bracelet with a fluted bezel. I am in doubt about which dial color I should choose - the pick stand between dark rhodium and black. I really like both, so I hope you guys could give me some advice, and show me some wristshots :-)

Thank you!

Rhodium dual is stunning. My second favourite behind the Blue Azzurro

As much as I like rhodium on my Yachty, the black sticks look great with the fluted bezel. My wife recently bought it in 36mm, it looks great.

I think the Rhodium is more versatile and better for the long term. Plus, the dial may always be rarer.

The rhodium dial is awesome. It's going to look almost black in some lighting, but gives you some added visual interest.

If blue is out of the equation then dark Rhodium. Please don't miss owning that dial, just MESMERIZING.

I always prefer a more traditional color dial. White or black. So I prefer black. I would get tired of the Rhodium dial over time.

Rhodium. Your next Rolex will probably have a black dial - Sub maybe?

Audible for the blue...if not that, then probably black.

Out of the two, I would go rhodium; I think there is more pop and character to the dial. I am a huge fan of the blue though....so if that makes its way in to your radar, I would go blue.

Too close to call. For a one watch only I'd go black. S/O Wimbledon was my choice.

Blue sticks dial. However if you're set on rhodium or black, I vote rhodium.
