New RG SkyD/ NOT rhodium!

Going into the collection in a few weeks. Yes, the rhodium is THE hot dial at the moment, more sporty looking and gorgeous but, except for my Cellini Moonphase and DD meteorite, I have NO other white/ivory dials in my collection - a few black/everose ie; DD, Daytona, black dial Daytona C, CHNR and SkyD blue, etc. Want to break it up a little. This dial is more of an ivory color than white with outline everose on the ivory stick markers and hands that match quite beautifully with the everose fluted bezel. In a 42mm, this dial really pops! Pics do not do it justice...

Never seen the white stick dial in person but I imagine it’s gorgeous. White dials really pop and it is great to have at least one.

That looks sick.

The ivory dial is 100% under appreciated. Once you see it in real life its a whole different story

I saw this watch on a recent trip to Paris and you’re correct, pictures don’t do it justice. Stunner! Congratulations...

I was just thinking the same thing about a rose gold and blue dial, on any Rolex model. I'm not aware of any. Imagine a new rose gold bluesy with updated movement. Just a thought. I wonder if there are any mock ups of a rose gold blue dial or if Rolex makes such a model now or in the past?

Oh my goodness, that is spectacular!

There is just something about the RG/white combination that makes my stomach flip...one of the reasons I fell so hard for the Moonphase, I guess.

Congrats!!

congrats, great piece. I think that it's a perfect combination of color. It keeps the contrast low and softens the full everose case.

That’s a beauty. Congratulations. I have a TT YG DJ2 with Ivory dial.

The ivory lends itself perfectly to gold and is very much an under appreciated dial colour.
