I’m fortunate enough to own both white and silver fluted baton DJ2’s.

Personally I prefer the silver, because the dial has a sunburst effect.

The white is a super clean looking dial, but just doesn’t play with the light like the silver dial does.

At the end of the day, it’s what you like most that counts.

White dial looks nice from the pictures I've seen.

I have this color dial on my DJII and I think they call it Ivory. It sometimes has a silver hue and sometimes white.

I like the white. I believe it’s my favorite DJ dial. The silver is equally nice, but in steel even though it’s still very nice I feel it needs some contrast from the silvery color of the steel/rest of the watch.

White is more classic, while silver is more elegant.

I tried on the white and it didn't sing to me at all. The silver I love.

For me, I prefer white in TT and silver in SS.

The classic TT jubilee/fluted with white dial is amazing, I saw one at the AD the other day and really liked it.

Whereas I really like the very sporty and simple nature of a silver dial on a steel DJ.

Blue dials are always my favourite then white dials. In this context, it's the white dial for me...

I prefer the white dial, but then again, I'm completely biased.

Loved my Mini, but sold it, for more than I paid for it, during the height of Covid, and the chip shortage…. Your watch is nice, too.

I've never owned a DJ but always thought if I did it would be either blue or slate.

Lately I've really been considering getting one and I think I'm leaning towards silver.

Thank you! I bought my Mini in August 2021 (it's a 2019), and I just love it. Sadly, it has depreciated quite a bit from what I originally paid. Oh well.
