Green 37mm or Blue 34mm Dial RO?

My SA and I love both on me. It's really so hard to decide. Anyway we are also still waiting for allocations but would love your thoughts... if there is an option to choose one, which is the best? Thank you!

I can’t tell from the lighting, are these both rose gold cases?
They both look very nice, but the smaller blue appears more balanced, while the green 37 is a touch on the ‘too large’ side…but doable. Maybe the closeup makes it look too big.
Both beautiful pieces!

Yes the rose gold :) I also realized I should get better at doing videos/photos from the same "zoom degree" for better comparisons. I guess we will leave it to fate - whichever ends up coming first. Thank you!

The 34mm is the best size based on these pics. Congratulations in advance

Of the 2 choices, IMO Blue dial with rose gold is far more classic vs green. Don't get me wrong green is beautiful too but if you're only going to have one then I personally would choose the Blue+Gold. It will stand the test of time.

Now size is a separate factor, and based on your pics it looks like you can wear either 34 or 37. But given your options I would 100% choose blue 34mm in this case. Congrats and enjoy!

Thank you. Really helpful perspective on blue standing the test of time... I did think about what I might get in the future after this so it helps me decide what to get now. And I was thinking if I get another RO, it might be steel so 37mm might suit that best. Then makes sense to get the 34mm this round for the rose gold.

Blue 34mm. More classic and fits way better. Case closed

I don't think I agree that the 34mm necessarily looks better. Would need to see zoomed out shots, that style of wrist pic tends to look bigger than real life

Close up wrist shots always make a watch appear larger on wrist. I think either would work but I'd go with 37mm.

I hope people are commenting based on having seen the watches IRL, not just on these pictures. The green dial 37mm RO looks absolutely stunning in person (my wife actually thought it was too high-key). 34mm blue dial will be much more subtle. Size-wise, I think OP can do either, but the visual effect will be quite different.

Thank you everyone. Also reinforced that my SA and I have good reasons to be torn between the two. They're both really amazing pieces and we were pleasantly surprised both worked really well on my wrist. She also mentioned the blue dial will pair better with more color outfits. Having said that green is also very special and unique! She did say she will contact me whenever either one pops out so will leave it to fate :)

Both sizes look pretty good on your wrist. If you're a lady I would say go for 34mm but if you're a male, you should go for 37mm.

34mm works better on you based on photos alone. Wrist shots from top down are known to exaggerate the size, so I'm going to guess 37 would work if that's your pref.

I know it's 2024 and the world is a confusing place, but I'd go out on a limb here and say "Daisy" is a woman

Agree both look great. I probably would go 37mm if I were you. Pics like that always make watch look a bit bigger & even with that optical illusion I think the 37mm looks great. It is a fun choice to have.

100% agree, close up wrist shots are distorted. she can pull off the 37 without issue. My wife has smaller wrists and wears 37 ROs
