If I had to go WG I would get something that:

1. I like
2. Is unique to WG.

In this situation BLUE all the way, and it really does look good in the pictures, even though I have not seen this one in person.

Good luck and congrats.

Manu74 · 7 February 2020, 08:23 PM

Both are great options, but Olive is the winner IMHO.

royerlich · 7 February 2020, 08:27 PM

Blue

I would go with the green dial as I think it is very unique and stands out in a good way with the WG. The blue is striking but there are so many other blue dial watches on the market with all types of metal that the green makes it even stronger.

Very well said and my thoughts as well. I owned the rose gold for a period and have thought of going for the wg in the future.

Couldn't agree more.

By the way, I may be old, but not bald or overweight.

I know, I know.... I should buy the one that sings to me the most rather than be swayed by random connoisseurs. I love them both though; equally. It is going to be a coin toss at this rate. So any help to push me one way or t’other would be appreciated. It is your collective fault that I face this predicament after all

Green dial looks so much more special.

Olive green - 100%

rmlovett1 · 8 February 2020, 12:20 AM

Have owned both, and both are spectacular. As for my choice...my favorite color is blue so it’s fairly easy. From a purely shallow, aesthetic point...blue matches more of my wardrobe....BUT...as others have said ....the green is unique in the WG setting, quietly stunning. I will say the blue is more visually striking in the flesh, as the green doesn’t quite pop as much. The green is more of an elegant/subtle dial...IMO
No wrong choice here...both are seriously stunning!

NardinNut · 8 February 2020, 12:27 AM

I agree with what’s others have stated, blue in WG and green in RG. I’m assuming from your statement “I want some color” that you don’t have a blue dial in your collection yet. If that’s the case then I’d say definitely blue

JParm · 8 February 2020, 12:28 AM

I own the RG DD40 with chocolate dial, but if I had to choose a dial on the white DD40, it would 100% be blue. Stunning.

thedips · 8 February 2020, 12:45 AM

Green

Lemonvr6 · 8 February 2020, 12:46 AM

White, quadrant or rhodium only. The other colors are too specific, and I have a bat / hulk to cover that

Ferdelious · 8 February 2020, 03:01 AM

I think the blue is more versatile. That's what I would pick.

stevep1041 · 8 February 2020, 03:42 AM

My personal favourite would the Rhodium!

Eagles4133 · 8 February 2020, 03:53 AM

Blue DD is a stunner! Most people play it safe with DD's, you don't see the blue too often.

I never considered a DD until I saw a photo here. It was the WG DD with deconstructed romans in... BLUE!

That’s my choice but I think both would be fantastic. Good luck!

Deep18 · 8 February 2020, 05:54 AM

I like the olive but I absolutely love the blue.

jenniferjanef · 8 February 2020, 06:08 AM

Olive Green is my vote.

I'm in this camp too.
Blue for WG
Green for RG

One&done · 8 February 2020, 11:09 PM

Had the chance to see both of them together today. Still no easier to choose so the coin toss gave Blue the win. Hard to photo accurately but here’s the contenders and the winner....

One of the best photos on www for this one

Rolexavidfan · 9 February 2020, 12:02 AM

My vote is WG Olive. You can reserve the blue dial on the DJ 41 SS although my preference would be on the Dark Rhodium.
