DD40 Battle: Choco Vs Olive! Which one

Hoping everyone staying safe in this crazy world! Ok give it to me straight no chaser! You’re allowed to have one DD40–do you go with the olive or choco dial?

I am conflicted. Send me over the edge!

Thanks to all!

Olive. But ADs probably get more Chocolate dials so that's probably easier to get if you wanted one soon

Olive for me, I'm not a big fan of chocolate dial.

I would go for the olive. I find the chocolate dial more appealing for a woman

Wow, this is the question I have asked myself in my mind numerous times if I had the opportunity. Still undecided to be honest! When I look at pics of the Olive dial, that's the one! Then, I look at pics of the Chocolate and THAT's the one! Back and forth back and forth, and I would truly have a tough time deciding. Both are so beautiful.

After seeing both in person, I think Olive is the way to go. The color complement is amazing.

Chocolate- olive very, very specific. Chocolate more timelessly lux looking, imo

I have the Olive, and my friend has the chocolate. I was surprisingly underwhlemed by the chocolate in person - I feel it looks better in pictures. Personal opinion of course!

If I see him soon I will take a pic of both to see side by side.

Olive is the way to go. My friend owns a chocolate and it is not at all impressive, looks dull from my pov.

Olive looks great in person, but chocolate doesn't get enough credit imo

WG Olive is so beautiful as well! Throw that one into the choices and it would just make it 3x as hard for me to pick.

You can’t do a “this or that?” post with pictures of the “this and that”

I would love the olive dial. I have tried it on and loved it back in 2019 when it was available in the case. But I passed at the time. Later on I got offered this one and I have been enjoying it very much.

Chocolate is beautiful but I went with Olive and this was before the hype.
