This would be much better as a poll… I own a chocolate dial and an olive dial and IMO olive is the clear winner when you see both in the metal.

Everyone loves Chocolate… Olives are an acquired taste.

Both awesome (Chocolate with Romans). Olive is a bit more special to me.

Personally, I wasn't very taken with the Olive. It looked a rather drab green. I am actually surprised it is so hot. Chocolate is nicer.

Or why not go for the Eisenkiesel? It also looks similar to chocolate at a distance, but is super unique and interesting close up. And far more rare than either of these two.

Very hard to obtain though.

Olive for me, in the flesh the contrast is outstanding. Gorgeous piece.

It is all about trends.

Blue is the new black. And olive is the new blue. And chocolate is the new olive.

Well that's my view at least
