I bought chocolate in 2016 just a month before olive was announced
Luckily I was able to get a dial swap and now have olive!

None, I'd go for blue, easier on the eye.

I guess it’s personal preference the rose gold mixed with green does absolutely nothing for me and I don’t know why it’s so popular but obviously I’m in the minority.

Rose gold in general I don’t even wear but as an outsider who will probably never wear rose gold, it matches chocolate just perfectly.

i'm not a fan of rolex's rose gold in general and chose yg over rg myself, but when i first saw it in 2017 i was blown away. it's a combo that shouldn't work but just does, and is just special in person, but obviously subjective

I love green, so I’ll say olive.

However, if allowed to open the aperture a bit, I’d choose YG 228238 with the solid green dial (W&W 2022).

Partial to the Olive here but choco with baguette indices is also stunning

WG with the Olive dial for me. They are all beautiful though and I do not see a bad choice to be made.

I’d say chocolate, but I think brown dials are underrated and roman numerals are overrated

I'd prefer RG with white dial. It is so legible! The olive dial was more difficult for me to read when I saw one.

The OP assumes that there can be a choice. Find me an AD who has several DD’s side by side, so I could compare. It would be great to see a blue Romans/choco/olive all together. I sincerely hope that day comes for us all soon.

I remember seeing the olive lonely in a case back in 2016 days.

Both are great, but I'd go for olive. And get the choco in Daytona.
