Slate vs champagne serti dial?
Hi guys, Im about to get myself a serti dial for my TT 16613 Blue sub. But the question is, should I go with the slate (silver) or the champagne dial? The pictures below are borrowed:

This is a hard one. They both look great. I voted Champagne. Just because of how it blends in well with the gold bezel.

You can't go wrong here, but to me the slate brings out the SS parts of the watch and the champagne accentuates the yellow gold parts.
Plus Champagne is pure Rolex while slate is but one of many in the catalog. Good luck, either one is an awesome watch ! |

Slate....as of my vote you're dead even at 12 and 12. We're not helping much are we, lol.
The diamonds look better with slate dial to me. |

Imho ...

I think the slate highlights the gold centre links and crown... Slate for my vote!

I like champagne, but I do recognize that it'sgoing to be more "blingy". Not sure if that's somethign you want or want to avoid though.

Slate Serti
For me it's the the slate dial, it's neutral and doesn't fall into any fashion trend colours and goes with anything but the serti's look at their best under halogen lighting if you really want to see a bit of bling, nothing wrong with the champagne either its personal choice.
