Datejust Dial Color

Hi - I'm considering purchasing a 36mm Datejust. I'm leaning towards a black dial but was curious about everyone's opinions about the versatility of the various dial colors.

If your thinking about stainless I like silver, white or blue. If two tone I would definitely go with white. all with stick dials!

Thanks, I am thinking stainless w/ oyster bracelet. Have a habit of changing the straps too.

I'm a big fan of the blue. Don't think I've seen a better looking blue dial anywhere.

I find black to be a little more masculine, but they’re all very nice dials. The blue is really nice.

My preference would be black or blue.

Of the dial colors available for the SS 36 mm DJ, my favorites are silver (first), black (second) and white (third). All three are neutral colors that seem to go well with everything.

Black, silver or blue would be my choice also. OP, keep in mind that only the white, black and blue dial have the roulette date wheel; oyster bracelet doesn't have a concealed clasp, like the Jubilee. Good luck with your choice.

Silver of course.
Grey is great.
Also, a black dial is superb but I think that visually it reduces the size of the dial.

Nothing quite like a blue sunburst dial. Perfection.

I vote silver. Doesn't get any better than this for a 36mm DJ:
