Which one ?

Cannot decide, both superb, grey dial blue hands are so beautiful when light hits, I have a rhodium op 39 though thinking maybe the black would be a better match in my collection.

The grey is pretty amazing, but since you have the OP I would recommend black. Did you like the blue?

That’s a hard choice. I’ve been debating between the grey or the blue/Sedna gold for months and still can’t decide!

They both look really great. I'm thinking go for the black dial for variety as you have the Rhodium OP. However, I don't think there's a wrong answer. Good problem to have!

If you didn’t have the rhodium OP, I’d say silver dial. But, since you do, I’d go black dial for the variety.
Curious, did you not like the blue dial?

Definitely black! On a related note, what kind of deals have people been getting at AD's? I was offered 10% off at mine, but felt I could do better.

The grey pops so good. Love that watch. Harder and harder to stay patient while I see these pics.

Between those the black , My favorite is the blue but I think that if you want to add the Rubber strap , the black is the one that looks the best on Rubber IMO.

No Blue? They are all nice. if I were in the market for a modern diver i would do this over
any other model or brand, you can’t go wrong with the color scheme. I’d do black with the rubber.

Thanks for help guys, still a tough one, if you seen the grey dial in person it really is superb, those blue hands and indices, the dial looks much better than in pics lovely silvery textured dial. If you look at the latest Omega trailer bond is actually wearing it it makes me shy towards a good chance he will wear this varient in next movie which would make the grey one a underdog right now as it's not popular, if bond wore it it's be very popular haha.

I need to find a blue one and see, will go to another AD during the week

After trying on all three, the grey was definitely my favorite. It pops for sure and is the most interesting to look at when the light catches it.

Blue

But that’s because I ALWAYS choose watches with character. By character I mean distinctive features or colours.

I rarely buy black

Black/ Grey combo over Blue. Much more versatile imho.

Good Luck

I actually prefer the blue. It's more attractive if that's what you care about.

But the black is quite simple and versatile.

Black. The grey is more of a silver.

I like all three but my favorite is the blue, especially since it's the truest to the original. Since you have a rhodium dial OP 39 I would probably avoid the gray and if you are ever planning on adding a black Professional Rolex (e.g., Submariner, Submariner Date, GMT II, etc.) to your collection, the blue is the obvious choice. Still, there is no wrong answer.

I really like the silver and blue dials. If I chose black I’d feel redundant with a sub.

The black looks pretty sharp - nice contrasting waves on the dial.
