Yellow Date 40 Dial?

Considering the white roman or the champagne roman dial on the Day-Date 40. Which would you prefer?

Thanks

Champagne is the only way to fly. Everything else is a bit fem.

I've got the Champagne so I'm bias.... the motif dials are really nice and I like the striped dials (tapestry-types) .......

I prefer sticks to romans for the lume and legibility, however between those two choices I'd go champagne.

Between your two options, I'd go champagne.

My personal preference is the black diagonal motif dial.

I'm having a hard choice on the dials too. I'm between champagne and black. I liked the silver but I think they discontinued it or it just doesn't come in Romans. I'm going with champagne since my AD is currently looking for one for me on the secondary market.

from the cheap seats, A N Y Day Date 40 is a grand slam (not just a home run)
