Silver looks better, but I had a silver and just something to keep in mine that there isn't much contrast between the hands and the dial, so out in bright sun light, it is a little hard to read. However, just for the look alone I would say silver.

I am a huge fan of the blue dial with Roman's on the DJ ll. However in this case I think it's the silver dial. Gorgeous watch.

Gotta ask why you wouldn't wait for the new colors to drop.

Who knows when that would happen? My guess, they would come out with new dials for the DJII first.

OP, another vote for silver.

...Tho the majority tend towards the Silver.. Im inclined to go with the Blue..!
Besides being a favorite colour, the contrast from face to hands..makes it more visible and 'readable'..imo...!! -
Reminds me of a Rolex Date, that Ive been looking for.. for someone else...(a long story..).!
For a daily, I'd go BLUE...!!
