I’m thinking of finally pulling the trigger this weekend. Just getting some opinions. I really like both but what do members think?
White Roman number or black stick dial?
These are not
The exact watches just some examples? I’m am thinking that maybe the white Roman is a better choice a little classier and Easy to read ??

The white face with Romans is a stunning piece and has my vote!

037 · 21 February 2020, 10:15 AM

Tough call but I think I prefer the white a bit more.

RyanO · 21 February 2020, 10:16 AM

Big fan of the romans on the DD

IndianRider · 21 February 2020, 10:17 AM

Black

Jabbo84 · 21 February 2020, 10:18 AM

White is timeless

huncho · 21 February 2020, 10:18 AM

i prefer romans but if it's the black dial with baguettes that beats them all for me

Patton250 · 21 February 2020, 10:19 AM

Come on man. :-)

Likestheshiny · 21 February 2020, 10:21 AM

My vote would be for black with Romans, but for some reason Rolex doesn't offer that dial. I generally prefer black with yellow gold, but I really think that Roman dial design is pretty, so in this case white gets my vote.

I think im subscribed to all the DD40 threads on the forum

. With that being said I like both dials. I'd try both on in person. Ive haven't seen the black dial in person yet. Im working on the DD40 being my next purchase as well. Im leaning towards the white because I already have 2 black dial SS Rolex.

Good Luck!

New dials may be released after Basel as well.

I’ve always loved the look of a white face on the gold DD, but the black face has grown on me overtime. I couldn’t pass up this DD with black face and black leather strap a few years ago. I absolutely love it and get many nice comments on it.

I do like this one better but baguettes not an option for now

Monty22 · 21 February 2020, 10:45 AM

Romans = DD, IMHO.
Pure class. Congrats in advance

Both beautiful! I’m Trying to decide if the black stick is sporty or dressy! Lol

Muxi · 21 February 2020, 11:01 AM

For yg white seems better. For Wg, id go for black

mannyv11 · 21 February 2020, 11:01 AM

Of those 2 the white dial Roman numeral gets my vote.

Old Geezer · 21 February 2020, 11:03 AM

I like Romans on DD40. The dial with batons looks a little too open to me.

g00n · 21 February 2020, 11:04 AM

White! It’s stunning

GoingPlaces · 21 February 2020, 11:07 AM

I went white. Black is a bit bolder if that's your thing but I found the white to be crisp and clean, also more versatile.

I think your photo decided it for me

TickTockChuck · 21 February 2020, 11:27 AM

I'd vote white with Romans as it really suits the look of the DD. Classy and easy to read. Good luck in your decision. Cheers!

cerendigit · 21 February 2020, 11:45 AM

You can't really go wrong.

I'd go white.

Michael T · 21 February 2020, 11:56 AM

I went with White Romans. No regrets. I like the black stick dial on on other watches that do not have the day aperture.

Patton250 · 21 February 2020, 12:11 PM

When choosing a watch with an all gold case as well as all gold bracelet then Yellow gold and black goes so much better together than any other combination with the exception of blue and I don’t think blue is better then black just equal. Unfortunately Rolex doesn’t offer a yellow gold day date with a blue dial. Check out the Rosegold AP Royal Oak with black or blue dial. Absolutely epic look. Now when using a crocodile strap and a dress watch like the Patek Calatrava or Vacheron Traditionnelle then a white dial with rose gold looks quite elegant.

moore2 · 21 February 2020, 12:29 PM

The black face has my vote..

shirtguy · 21 February 2020, 12:42 PM

White, it's crisp and very easy to read

I went with the white for myself
