Time as come ...trading my pam 233 to DD 36 18038

Ok guys I finally made decision. I gonna trade my pam 233 to daydate 36 18038. Of course i have to pay bit more . Currently has champagne dial with Roman numerals. But never been a fan of roman dial. So asked to put black stick dial or champagne stick dial. Which one should i go for? Opinion? or you guys think im crazy?

I love the roman dials! Especially the ivory pyramide version.

If you choose another champagne dial the day and date wheels will still be the "correct" color. A black dial, on the other hand, normally has white day and date wheels. If you choose a stick dial you might want to change the hands to those with lume to also be "correct."

I like those romans but im biased because of my Dj36 with blue romans. Woww just a taught, if that day date came with a blue roman dial it would easily be one of the best looking rolexes.
