Which one?
I cannot seem to decide between the white dial and the ivory pyramid dial. I know i wanted the classic datejust look (36mm, jubilee braclet, light color dial). But im extremely conflicted and keep going back and forth.

I'd go with the white; cleaner look plus lume.

Not a datejust person but I also would go with white dial between these models.

Both are really nice and the pyramid dial is much less common. Still I prefer the white dial.

That white dial is classic Datejust.

Although the other dials are rarer I'd go white.

Which one?
My day date is in for service and dial swap I wanted pyramid but wasn't available so chose white. Get the white it's very legible compared to most of the other dials. imho the 16233 with a white dial is one of the cleanest in the line up.

You say in your post you want the classic Datejust look. That makes the answer so easy. White dial all the way.

From those pictures the white looks preferable, but in person the pyramid is very nice!

I think the pyramid dial makes the watch a bit more interesting

Thank you very much for the feedback guys. I had already sourced the watch with pyramid at a good price, but I guess now I have to keep searching. I think I'll try to see the pyramid dial in person. But if not, I'm leanig towards the classic white.
