actually i am worrying whether i can carry off this dial color...
as many have said... it is too near the skin tone...therefore looks dull.

:) thanks for all those sweet words.

The watch itself is striking.. The diamonds will sparkle in different lighting situations and so will the bracelet..

I don't think there will be any issues with it being "dull" unless you focus too much on the dial and your skin.... it's really a non-issue if you like this watch......

great choice. The dial combo goes very well with your skin tone. It is quite an unique one too.
Congrats.

Beautiful!! Those diamonds compliment the dial oh so well!! And the Jubilee bracelet gives a very dressy touch to the whole ensemble!!

Very nice combo. I have a datejust with a black jubilee diamond dial and I love the combo with the Salmon diamond dial. I don't think your skin tone will be a problem as the stainless steel breaks up the color between your skin and the watch dial.

honeybee80, I love it! I am pale and tried the salmon dial this past summer, and my friend who was with me loved it on. I think it looks great, especially with the diamond markers.

Right decision. Another member has a similar watch and I think the color combo is perfect.

I love the Salmon dial, fluted, jubilee ! This is the exact combo that I tried on also at Christmas and this is what I plan to get for myself.
I love the Salmon dial. I think it's a nice neutral color.
Don't worry, I believe that you made the right choice.
It looks really great on you l!!!
Congratulations on your new beauty !!!
