Bicolor Datejust 41, champagne or black dial?

Hi,

I am planning to get a bi-color Datejust 41 next. Bi-color yellow gold, fluted bezel, jubilee band.
I am unsure about the color of the stick dial though.

Would you guys prefer champagne dial or black dial?
Many thanks.

I would eliminate the champagne right from the start and chose between black, white or Wimbledon :)

Having the same debate! Just purchase champagne dial for old school feel.

My dad wore it before his was stolen in a home robbery.

I consider the Wimbledon dual too busy for my taste so it should be a stick dial.
I really like the classy champagne look but I think the black dial gives the better contrast.

I'd choose champagne eyes closed for this model and configuration. When the dial turns to a gold sunburst hue is like having the sun under your crystal.

The black dial gives a nice contrast, but for me this would be a debate only for Daytona TT.
