Help! - Dial for my Day date 18239 (wg)
I have a Day date 18239 with cherry dial that are stunning. But I’m considering to change dial...
Any recommendations? I’m interested in lapis with diamonds at 6 & 9 (see picture) but haven’t seen it irl. Any thoughts about that dial? Or maybe the golden MOP (see picture)?
Any other suggestions?

I prefer the cherry dial over those 2 other options. My 18239 (on its 4th dial) says hi!

I’d keep the Cherry dial. Pretty scarce dial you rarely see them.

I’d keep the cherry over those other two. It’s much better looking, IMO.

Lapis is cool but I hate the diamond markers.

I have recently serviced and upgraded a boring 18239 grey dial to walnut wood. One of my favourites.
I personally own a sealed birch dial for a DateJust, still need to get a watch for it...

They're scarcely available from RSC, some can still be ordered.

Thanks for all your comments!
Maybe the cherry dial is the way to go.. or the walnut dial! That was really stunning!

Green? Never seen a green dial in a white gold DD. Any pictures?

Yea, it’s nice!
The dial isn’t really for 18239. It’s for the model 118139 with leather strap.Name: IMG_2660.jpg Views: 204 Size: 132.6 KB

Thanks. Not sure about the specific reference number as bought it used, think was used on either the 118209, 118239 or 118139 DD models
