Most desirable 16014 datejust configuration?

Is it the slate tapestry? Silver Linen? Rhodium? What are your favorites?

That’s a two tone dial and handset in a non-2-tone case. Frankenwatch?

C'mon OP, get a grip.

No good deed goes unpunished, huh L.K.J.

I should have known something was off about someone who needs to start a thread to ask other people what they think is "most desirable". So tired of threads like these and posts like this. Just buy what you like, it's a friggin DJ, people make what they want of them. And nobody asked your opinion about L.K.J.'s watch, which he just posted to help you out.

Thanks for standing up for my watch, man! Just wanted to show how nice the glossy black dial is for the 5 digit DJ ref. Here is a thread about the transformation of my 16000 that came originally with white dial:

Anything blue or black, buckley, tapestry,linen. What really makes a 16014 IMO is a really crisp bezel.

I always liked this combination. Especially the white hands. Though most of the time I see this dial on a 16030. I actually have the white hands - just need this dial. Anyone has one for sale?

These dials are gorgeous especially with the white hands. I wish they came in a bigger size.

Can imagine that this fantastic combo will look great with a white Oxford shirt and blue jeans!

I’m in market for the linen dial 16014. Does the dial with ‘T swiss made T’ typically signal a service dial? I’ve seen plenty with the ‘T Swiss T’ ... please drop some knowledge on me. If it is service dial - what is best way to determine if the lume is tritium? Would you recommend staying away from service dial in terms of potential resale if I decided to get out of it later? Been hunting these a while and found a nice one, but slightly spooked by this marking at 6. Let me know thoughts! I would post link but you guys might buy my watch
