Rolex Daytona 116693, what dial should I choose?
Hi all,
I’ve been wanting a new watch and have decided once this pandemic is over with I’m going to treat myself to a Daytona 116503 with the diamonds in the dial. However I can’t decide on what Colour dial to get... Do I go with Champagne, Black or MOP? I was leaning more towards black but then I keep going back to MOP  I hope you guys can make my decision a lot easier! I’ve included some pics. Btw way I hope you guys are staying safe TIA |

I'm personally not a fan of the diamonds but the white dial is gorgeous.

Champagne gets my vote. Isn’t there also a dark MOP?

The diamonds pop on the black.

It’s white for me although I do love the MOP you’ll love it either way especially when the sun hits it, enjoy

I would do the champagne dial with diamonds. Although black is a close second.

This is an easy one - black.
It is a gorgeous watch even without the diamonds.

I like the black but would suggest anything except champagne, which looks extremely difficult to read.
Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you're going big, go straight to the top! The diamond dial IMO, works best with the MOP. Of the two I'd go Panda.
Just to confuse you a little more!  My grey connection, feels they are the ones that will be desirable in the future. |

I would ditch the champagne due to its dated look and color clash with the diamonds. Between the white and black I'd go black. From them all, I would probably sidestep the MOP, even though its attractive, the dial is just too busy with the diamonds and the MOP together.

Thank you all for your input, so far the black has the most votes
