What is the most beautiful Datejust dial?
Post photos of your datejust and/or the dial you think is the most beautiful and best looking ever made for a datejust.
Personally my favorite is the white tapestry dial. The reason I ask is because I am thinking of buying a new dial for this one, and am not sure what dial to get. I am leaning towards a grey tapestry dial.

Black concentric / Arabian markers, and on a superjubilee to finish the look.
White stick dial is also a beaut. The DJ has a number of other great dial options. |

White with roman
My R serial tt Thunderbird had a champagne tapestry dial. I got bored with it after a year so I replaced it with a white/roman dial and it still has that dial to this day (bought from AD in 1990 BNIB).

There are so many nice dials, but the tapestry dials are lovely. This one belongs to my wife:

It all comes down to personal taste and preference but my favourite DJ dial is the silver with sticks markers... just a simple, classic and stylish dial!

Best Datejust dial
Some really nice dials, you guys have shown, don't know about best, but I can tell you the worst, which is the Concentric Silver Arab dial, though really stunning and contemporary, it is a nightmare to read during the low light, however it comes into its own at night when it becomes luminous. Just about to swap it for the Ivory Jubilee Arab Dial

I hesitated a lot at first as I was aiming for the Day date all gold champagne bezel with Diamonds, or the gold DJ.. and finally saw this one and fell in love... everyday more and more :) very comfortable watch on the wrist, my other watch dont get much time on my wrist. Day light/ sun and restaurant this watch shines like I wouldn't had believe.
PS how fro you upload pictures ? without a URL |
