Icon1 Which dial color do you prefer (Datejust2 116334)?

Hello,

I'm considering to buy a datejust2, been bouncing between which different color dials.
How do you folks think?
Between dark rohdium Diamond dial or blue sticke dial?
Any thought would be very helpful.
Please share some of your thoughts and why do you prefer to pick that dial.

Hope all you having a great day!

Thanks!

Blue looks nice as always!

But then it is also the first Rolex put dark rohdium and Diamond as combo,and in person to see it the dark rohdium makes those Diamond much more spark than usual.

So difficult choice.

Blue stick is my favorite in this reference. The blue is a nice bit of color. IMO, the rhodium is just too monochromatic with the stainless steel.

I always loved the rhodium with diamonds until I put it on... it was just too much flash for me. It's amazingly beautiful but it really catches the light. Between the fluted bezel and diamonds, I found it to be a bit much. I'd go blue personally!

So you think blue is not as reflective to light as the rohdium Diamond one?
Or what do you mean by too flash?
Isn't wearing Rolex already too flash?
Please share some more your opinions.
Thanks.

I like Rhodium, but not with diamonds, so I'd go blue.

I've got the blue stick smooth bezel.

With the fluted I actually prefer the black dial.

The black you showed if you work in an office 1st pref, blue 2nd pref & is more casual IMHO
