Considering White gold Pepsi, thoughts from owners? Blue or black dial?

Not daily - have a few others who demand their time in the sun :) SD43, 116500 White, PP 5170P but the two that get the most time is my SD43 and my BLRO

SS BLRO FtW!

There’s not a bad one of these choices here.

I actually prefer the black dial over the blue -- and wouldn't be fussed over someone not recognizing it as WG given the steel model w/ jubilee.

Waiting for an answer from my dealer. Think I’m going to buy it

I would buy the meteorite dial. Wait a little the economy is crashing.

Black

[samsmart]

I dont have either, but have seen both in person. I love the Black dial, plus the black dial in more in line with a traditional pepsi.

As a former black dial owner, I would go blue. I think it gives the watch a kind of an exotic feel...which works well with the magic of white gold.

meteorite > blue > black, and I say that as someone who loves blue everything.

Also, as others noted, when the SS black dial came out, it was hard for most to justify WG $$$ for a watch that basically looks exactly like the new SS version...I actually just really like them all, but I’m a fan of PM. Good luck with the decision....

Stunning watch! Just curious -- in the first photo, the color of the case metal has a more yellow hue than the bracelet. Is that just the lighting?

Hi, thank you! Yes, just the lighting making it more like YG...but WG definitely has a warmer tint to it (slightly towards YG), especially vs SS and PT.

Thanks for the response

I love that warm WG glow, and the case highlights it beautifully. I was just expecting to see the yellowish glow on the bracelet in addition to the case. In the first pic, the bracelet almost look like SS in comparison -- probably just the lighting playing tricks on my eyes!!

Definitely the lighting, but also, when photographed, the pcl’s always show bright and shiny vs the warmer glow of the brushed WG parts.

Recently saw the blue dial WG GMT. Looks great with the blue dial and darker colored bezel.

Gotcha -- thanks!

Is meteorite out as an option for you? It grows on you very quickly.

These pics show what a stunning watch that is with the blue dial. Absolutely beautiful. Rolex blue dials are just sublime. Forget black and forget meteorite.

I like it, it’s close to £20000 extra for one. Fairly large AD said he’s only ever seen one and has one on order fully paid for.

Seeing as you’re quoting £‘s...is it Goldsmiths/WoS you’re referring to?

I really did not think the premium was an extra £20k!

On the grey market they’re just under 40 grand. . I believe they’re around 33k (don’t quote me) from an AD.
24-26 seems about what the black dial goes for, which is discontinued as an above poster informed me.

Every time you post a pic of this watch I fall more and more in love

[sgmgolf]

Blue dial for me

[Nikrnic]

I'd give the edge to the black over blue dial. Not a fan of the meteorite dial unless it's on a WG DD40

If there is ever an option to not get black, I usually go with it except for the 116610. In this case, would definitely say blue! Stunning in the flesh!

[Mick006]

Blue dial is my grail. Awesome photos.

Considered the Meteorite?

Blue all the way!! Like the meteorite dial and had an opportunity on one on grey market. Price was north of 55K so i passed and went blue.

Love my Blue dial!

[VacherObsessive]

As far as I understand Rolex will change the black dial out to a blue dial for you for free at the RSC
