Last DJ dial question (I promise): rhodium or blue?

I've narrowed it down to rhodium or blue for the dial on the 16200 I'm looking to purchase. Which in your opinion looks better?

Either will have roman numerals and the watch will have the smooth bezel and oyster bracelet.

Thanks

Well, up untill a couple of months ago I would have said Blue..But then I saw the Rhodium with romans! The rhodium has a really wonderful finish and personall I find that the romans stand out more, easier to read, on the rhodium than the blue!

With smooth bezel and oyster, I'd probably go blue....

But, maybe if you don't have a true dress-up watch and attend a black-tie event, a silver-dialed Rolex might be easier to pull off?

Dunno...

Good luck with this choice! Glad I don't have to make it right now.

Please post pix of the beauty when you get it, thanks.

Between the two..... Rhodium gets my vote. You might want to check out the white dial as well.
