Which dial?

Was keen to seek some thoughts and feedback on the dial choices currently available for the 116515LN. I am currently torn between the black and pink dial or the sun dust and black dial. I have narrowed it down to these two dials for the everose gold on oysterflex.

The sundust looks like it will reflect much more light and therefore appear more blingy which I’m not sure I want. Anyway happy for anyone who has owned either and hear your thoughts. Obviously difficult to gauge purely from brochureware.

Thanks in advance.

Can I ask why you ruled out the 116519LN if you don’t want blingy. That’s the one I went with after reviewing all three dials as the most understated yet striking watch.

Absolutely love the 116519LN, congrats on getting yours, however all meteorite dial lists are closed through my AD, I also really like the Rose Gold and realise it is by definition more blingy, however I was just looking for some views/feedback that own either of the dials I mentioned.

If worn with a black (OF) strap, black dial.

Right? Formatting has them on top of each other on my browser!
Black dial or Sundust?
Leaning towards the black at the moment.

I saw both of them before, both are gorgeous, no wrong choice here.

If you are getting from your AD/Boutique at MSRP, it would be better to take whichever becomes available first to you without waiting for longer period.

Tough choice, both are nice. I'll go SunDust. Has more of a true Panda look.

Try to find a way to see them in real life. It can make all the difference.
I was surprised how nice is the sundust dial in person.

Sundust by a long shot. I actually own the “new” sundust dial as shown in the pic. Absolutely beautiful dial. The pics always show the dial as being a little too pink IMO. In certain light conditions it can look that way but most of the time it’s more silver with a hint of rose, which draws some contrast from the color of the actual everose case.
