My vote is for the silver.

smartson · 23 May 2011, 11:00 AM

I am simple minded.

I go for a silver DJ, plus another spot watch with black dial.

As far as the dials, my only comment is that the romans/arabics look very handsome when magnified significantly, but they aren't near as good looking on the wrist. It's tough to beat sticks for real life. To me, as nice as the romans or arabics look magnified, there isn't much room on a DJ dial and the sticks are much more balanced looking.

Never thought of it that way..thanx, I would have to do a comparison next time!

Thanx alot for the feedback..looks like silver is unanimous! In reference to the black dial and slight familiarity to the other sports models helped me make my decision! I think I'll go with the sliver! Now, all I have left to decide is.... White stick or Roman! Getting closer...

This dial also comes in black and silver. I love the depth it has and highly recommend it!

Maxtor · 3 August 2011, 11:37 PM

I always prefer DJ with a stick.

One thing you might consider is a tuxedo dial. Doesn't have the full on black dial sports look and is easier to read than the straight silver dial. I don't have a picture to share but others might.

In any event you will love your watch... good luck with your purchase.

dddrees · 3 August 2011, 11:44 PM

I actually decided to go with a DJII and the slate colored dial with green roman numerals.

However if I were to chose between silver and black, I would have to go with the silver dial. To me it looks a whole lot better than black. It's the classic DJ color.

zeuloa · 4 August 2011, 02:05 AM

Or you could go for both black and silver....

cbusjer · 4 August 2011, 04:03 AM

I'm shopping around for my first DJ, and I really want a vintage with the linen dial :drool:

watchdaddy1 · 4 August 2011, 04:18 AM

Black for me

The Joker · 4 August 2011, 04:24 AM

That's the one. There is one in the For Sale section from a Trusted TRF Seller. Check it out if you like the look.

I am wearing a silver datejust with Roman numerals on a jubilee bracelet. My wife has the matching watch.

StarSovereign · 4 August 2011, 07:31 PM

I have the white dial and love it. It is a little dressier than the black dial, in my opinion, and with the fluted bezel I get compliments all time. The silver looks good, but I like a little more contrast between the watch's outside and the dial itself.

skanps · 5 August 2011, 02:10 AM

My vote goes to a slate-colour dial like this one:

What have you got and which dial would you recommend?

I know it's up to me..but it's more fun sharing and being open to ideas other than mine.

PS, I was considering a blue dial as well, but I've had so many blue dial watches, I fancied a change...still open to suggestion

I just bought this very watch. I was smitten in the store by the black dial with the roman numerals so I pulled the trigger. No regrets- I love the look. The only downside is in some settings it's hard to read. Just something to consider. Good luck!

psv · 20 September 2011, 03:24 PM

Silver or white stick dial is the way to go!
