228206 - decision

[k1985]

Hey guys,

I am seriously contemplating purchasing a 228206 with the ice blue dial. I love both of the dials but lean towards the look of the romans. The dark blue on the ice blue dial is stunning. That said, I have always preferred lumed indexes for the functionality so perhaps from a functionality perspective the sticks make more sense.

So a few things I wanted to ask:

1) Do those who have romans on a lighter dial find there are times when it is inconvenient at all not having the lume? Wondering about readability in low-light situations.
2) Tbh if the ice blue dial was offered in WG, I would probably go that route given cost and weight of the watch. It’s a big premium to pay of course. My concern here is the weight of the watch. I have a Platinum Lange and the weight doesn’t bother me at all, but holding it next to the DD it feels light of course given the Lange is on leather. Just wondering about wearability with the platinum Rolex’s. Obviously I will always know it’s there, but has anyone found it simply unwearable?
3) Fit of the president bracelet? Any issues here without any sort of extension?
4) I know what matters is what I like of course. But just curious which you guys thinks looks better.

Thanks a lot for any input!
