Silver dial, my friend.

I find the silver dial works very well on this watch. Just enough contrast between dial and watch. Love it.

Silver. The champagne is nice, too...but the silver makes me weak in the knees.

Silver hands down... Champagne is a bit much IMO and just not as interesting or unique. I feel like watches of a single tone, especially YG, have a way of blending together, and you can't appreciate the watches fine lines and structure quite as much without a bit of contrast. Enjoy!

Skydweller opinion

Silver one looks awesome. Champagne is nice. Also, like RN much better than Arabic on the Sky-Dweller.

The silver dial caused me to add a second SD and I am glad I did! I also prefer Roman Numerals!

Make sure you try it on first. I was ready to get one until I tried it, just too top heavy for me.

If you gotta get one go silver.

I'm in the same boat. I'm loving the silver dial. Hopefully picking one up soon. Good luck and happy hunting.

So many thanks to everyone!!

My decision is going to go against the grain of popular opinion(thanks for everyone's opinion and comments) I've secured the champagne dial. what I love most..... The contrast of the white sub dial against the champagne dial.... And the all gold, overall motif, is the look I will enjoy. I've had/have YG/blue, and YG/white and I'm still looking... So.... Here we go. Pics asap!!

Silver dial looks more sophisticated to me - gold is overpowering IMHO.

Huge congrats!

Both are beautiful, imho. Depends on whether you like more or less gold. I like the more subtle silver personally.
