DayDate Rose Gold Ruby or Chocolate?

Hi guys,

Please help me set my mind. Which one would you go for between these two dials? I like a little bit of bling.

Thanks in advance!

Both are very cool! I love the brown in person, but I bet the black dial is also great in person too.

Well, the chocolate dial is a Day Date 40, the ruby dial is a Day Date 2. The Day Date 2 wears a little bigger as it has a slightly larger case. I think the ruby dial is more special.

I'd go with Chocolate. I'm not a big fan of the DD II

Chocolate! That color of dial against Everose Gold is amazing!

Chocolate. The ruby one looks unbalanced.

Chocolate. I don’t like the black dial with RG as much.

Between those 2 with Chocolate, the other one looks too busy

I love the RG chocolate daytona. But personally I like the Patek rose with chocolate better.

Between the two, the chocolate has a better aesthetic, it flows together better in my opinion.

If you want a dial with gemstones, why not the RG Eisenkiesel or YG Onyx? Gem setting preferences aside, I consider the stone dials to be the most special dials in the DD lineup.
