It’s close but I give the nod to the olive.

Olive is massively overrated; chocolate for sure.

Olive no contest, you need to see the dial in the light to truly appreciate it and how well the dial plays into the RG.

For the rose gold version, my vote is chocolate, for the white gold version my vote goes to green.

Both great choices. I have seen both in the wild and the Olive pops. The chocolate is really nice as well but it didn't jump out at me like olive.

I think chocolate works better with rose gold and olive with white gold.

I am going to vote for the brown motif. I own the black and I can honestly say that it is one of my favorite dials that Rolex has. The dynamic nature of the dial with the light, along with the legibility of the stick indexes and hands is awesome.

Gosh, I love both of these Day Dates. If I had to choose one, I'd go olive dial, but to be quite honest I'd be thrilled to add either to my collection.

Chocolate - I don't understand why olive is used for anything. Hope one these colors starts appealing to you more than the other.

I have the chocolate motif and I personally prefer the olive but couldn’t get my hands on one.

I bought the olive, I just prefer the contrast. I felt that the chocolate and sundust dials are just too much brown/pink for me. The olive is just a lot more unique and special in my opinion.

Of those two, I would take the choco/motif. The olive is too difficult for me to read in certain light.

The RG and chocolate is stunning. I have a RG and I love the softer look.

To my eyes in-person, RG with chocolate and WG with Olive are THE combinations. Thank you.
