Opinions on these 16233's?

Hey guys! Looking to purchase a 16233 soon. Could you please give me your thoughts on these two? Why would you prefer one over the other? I am leaning towards the champagne dial.. thoughts? I'd like to try and source on here but do not see any 16233's for sale currently.

This reference is not my cup of tea (although I would go white dial to "dial it back a bit"), but I can vouch for that seller. I've done many deal with him, he's straight up, sends everything on time, and is creative with the deals.

I think they're both beautiful, but I'm in agreement that the second one wins.

I would go with the newer white dial. I had a 16013 champagne and swapped it out for white - much easier to read the time IMO.

I don’t know anything about the reference, but I have dealt with this dealer before and everything went smoothly.

My recommendation is to go with the champagne dial. That is "the" classic two tone Datejust.
