Going to buy a New DJ II smooth bezel. I am having a hard time deciding which dial to get. I have narrowed it down to the Rhodium with Blue Arabic numbers or the Flat Black with Black Roman Numerals.
What do you think? On one hand I like the contrast of the black face, but something about that dial just doesn't look perfect. Almost like the Romans are too big? The Arab dial looks classy but is almost washed out. And the numbers look more purple than blue, almost girlish or cartoonish.
I do like both of them but I'm not 100% in love with either one.
Thanks for the input

Wait for Basel as I'm sure more dial options will come out.

Then is it usually another 6 months till they hit the U.S.?

Between these two, I much prefer the black roman dial. I'm not a big fan of Arabic numbers though.

If you're not really in love with either, hold for now!
