Correct. Stock in Geneva and at ADs is likely the main reason - these black dials can theoretically be swapped for blue dials and keeping all else equal will make the transition easier. Also, the majority of consumers won't be aware. I imagine it will be updated at some stage but probably not for a while.

I like the 2018 blue.

GFONG · 27 June 2018, 01:27 PM

Tried the blue during the Rolex 2018 Roadshow. I prefer the black dial as the blue dial looks different from other blue dials.

thedips · 27 June 2018, 01:50 PM

They should have done white dial

Bladeshot · 27 June 2018, 02:44 PM

2014-2017 black dial for me. I like that it carried on the heritage. And I like a short run piece. Checks all the boxes.

I like the Black because it was familiar, but like most Rolex watches, it’s only a matter of time before I fall in luv

Stevec14 · 27 June 2018, 04:33 PM

Based on the pic above, I don’t like the blue and the black gives more contrast with the bezel. Would need to see in the metal however.....for now, black for me

Buy an umbrella, get a free watch. Not a bad deal.

Looks great there.

Stick a Jubilee on the 'blue job' and you might just confuse one or two 'watch spotters'!

Stalex · 27 June 2018, 08:48 PM

Blue dail 2018 rocks!!

brandrea · 27 June 2018, 08:50 PM

Black dial by far.

BadBoyR · 27 June 2018, 08:56 PM

Create a poll, I like the new version with the blue dial.

Having them side by side like this makes me lean towards the blue dial. Less contrast and more subtle look.

timeldn · 27 June 2018, 10:57 PM

Black Dial

datejustrms · 27 June 2018, 11:26 PM

Flip a coin, they're both sweet.

jstan9 · 27 June 2018, 11:41 PM

I like the 2018 blue and wish it were yellow gold. That would be killer, IMO.

904VT · 27 June 2018, 11:43 PM

I don't like the new blue dial. It would've looked better as a sunburst i think

Loevhagen · 27 June 2018, 11:59 PM

< 2017, because the 2018 version with the blue dial got the blue dial for all the wrong reasons.

SebaH · 28 June 2018, 12:14 AM

Really like the blue!

kilyung · 28 June 2018, 06:34 AM

The one that I have 2016

PLNYC · 28 June 2018, 06:35 AM

Blue!

airpeace · 28 June 2018, 06:44 AM

The black dial, rolex also twists the rotating bezel color, it was a true Pepsi before, now looks more like purple and raspberry

watchtabs · 28 June 2018, 06:49 AM

Beh neither. SS.

lapince · 28 June 2018, 06:51 AM

Usually a fan of blue dials, 3 of 5 watches I have are blue, but in this particular case I prefer the black, doubt it will be a collectible one day, but it just looks better IMHO, or maybe I prefer it because it’s the original and first Pepsis and blue dial is just something new, but definitely black for me..

SMC84 · 28 June 2018, 10:27 AM

Decided on black myself, just arrived last week!

1st amg · 28 June 2018, 11:16 AM

I have tried both on and the new blue faced one really left an impression on me. I like it alot.

watchmework · 28 June 2018, 11:33 AM

2017 for me, the blue dial on the 2018 clashes a bit with the bezel.

faz · 28 June 2018, 11:43 AM

Blue dial. But I wouldn’t say no to black dial if a good deal presented itself.
