DJ help please

Hello All,

I don't know you, you don't know me...so what I am doing here?....

am about to get another Rolex for myself after the first three within 2 months (actually this will be my second, the other two belong to my husband).

I like the diamond dial, and the stick hour marker as well.
In either one, should I go with white, black, or silver again? Also, smooth or fluted bezel in whatever dial I pick?

For your reference, I currently have DJ diamond silver dial with fluted bezel already.

Please post some pictures for comparing if you could.

Thank you

Since all is a matter of personal taste and preference, I'd go to my AD and try on some various versions of the DJ and go for the one YOU like best. But if I were you, I'd go for a totally different dial option than the ones you've had. Just to really feel you're getting something new and different.

There are SO many dials availible! Click here to view them.

Wise words. I would go to as many AD's as possible. A lot of dials look different in person then they do in a pic.

I missed Bo words about different dials.

I like the yatch in Plat. However, afraid that it won't last long on the wrist when aging I buy stuffs to enjoy and make sure that my taste will last along with them even things change over time.
So far, for that long of life, I still like white and then black for clothing.

How about a jet black dial? No nonsense BLACK! No diamonds, just SL sticks? Doesn't come much more classical than this and I believe you won't ever get tired of looking at that dial. It also gives the DJ just a hint of "sports" combined with elegance. And it would fit both white and black clothes.

It's very nice watch with mop dial.
Thank you.

I like the pearl bling. However, I'd rather get something spakle and bright but clear at any glance for time telling, which I think simple but elegant...

Since you already have silver with a fluted bezel how about pink with a smooth bezel? This one is simple and classic and easy to read.

The pink dial has a copperish tinge to it and I consider it a neutral that I wear with everything. However if that is not your cup of tea black would be gorgeous!

Much appreciate for all your responding.

Just got back from the AD.
Have tried everything on, I think I will go for stick silver dial with wg fluted bezel......in case my daughter wants it later, I be able to give her without buying another one.

Will call my AD tomorrow to see what kind of discount he is going to offer me this time.
