Azzurro blue or Wimbledon dial?
I’ve bought a 2019 Datejust 41 today with white stick dial.
I don’t like it but bought on price as it’s cheaper to buy it this way and then change the dial to the one I want. I can’t decide between the azzurro blue or slate Wimbledon, has anyone seen them side by side? Any preference? I know some will say keep the white but I really don’t want to, the Azzurro dial is £650 and Wimbledon £750 for genuine factory dials from a trusted seller and my local watchmaker charges £100 to fit. I picked up the white dial watch for over £1500 less than I could find Datejusts with my favoured dials already fitted so worthwhile in my opinion as warranty card doesn’t state dial colour on it.

Both dials are so nice. I’d go with the one that matches more of what you wear.

I really don’t like the 9 o’clock stick on Wimbledon. Every time I look at a picture of this watch, I just focus on this nonsense stick. I much prefer Azzurro but I’m biased...

Did go for the oyster bracelet, like the jubilee but just prefer the oyster as looks younger and fresher to me

I would go Wimbledon, but have in mind that, the dark rhodium is little hard to read

Blue Roman for sure. The Wimbledon index at 9 o’clock looks bad.

Considering that you have fluted bezel and Oyster bracelet I see better the Wimbledon dial, while the blue roman number dial to my eyes looks better with Jubilee bracelet.
At the end is up to you, everyone has its own taste. |

Wimbledon for me - balanced, useful and looks stunning in any configuration.

The color of the Azzuro blue with the shiny roman numerals looks feminine to me. People can criticize the Wimbledon's 9pm, but i think it perfectly balances the cyclops lens. It's also unique and different. Those roman numerals etched in green on the outlines make it soooo beautiful and different.
