116622 - platinum, blue or dark rhodium dial?
Which dial do you like the best? I am thinking of getting one and wondered your thoughts. Any wrist shots would be helpful. Thanks!

They are all three absolutely gorgeous.
Ideally, you'd try them all on, at the same time. Good luck!

I personally like the Platinum dial the best! But both the blue and rhodium dials are equally impressive. I'm sure the one you choose will be the right one for you. Good luck with your decision.

I'm a big fan of the rhodium but I can't really see you going wrong with any of them.

I have the platinum (will post pix tomorrow from my laptop) but I can't disagree. All three of these options are amazing. I don't see how you can go wrong. Pick the one you love best. You'll end up wanting one or all of the others too, unfortunately. I do : )

Platinum for sure. The blue makes the watch look small, the rhodium is nice but I don't like the baby blue hands. Between me and my wife we both have the his & hers (35mm & 40mm platinum) You can get a 2008 and up 16622 which has all the features like rolex, rolex, rolex for around 5k and up vs the 116622 which is 7k and up. The only thing you won't get is the original clasp from the 16622. It is one of the top 3 most beautiful Rolexes out there.

I would've put the blue dial behind the others until seeing these pics. The sunburst pumps some life into it

Couldn't agree more. Rolex may not be the cream of the crop but imho they are conservative for the most part and every watch seems to please more people than they disappoint even brands like AP, PP, ALS, and VC have plenty of models that just don't do it for many of their customers. And I'm not even going to get into the really fringe brands like MB&F and Grubel Forsey but I'd take one with out question just wouldn't fork out the cash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There is only one: Platinum dial.
On the other hand the Tahitian MOP is stunning but only comes on the all gold model. Then again, the blue is fantastic, too. But so is the Rhodium. Can you afford all of them just to be sure...??

The blue looks more interesting to me, and the other colours a give the watch too much of a monochrom look.

Platinum for me. The perfect match for the bezel and I love the monochromatic look. Feels like jewelry which is what I was missing in my collection.

Kind of new here as well. I've had the platinum dial forever and have grown tired of it. Have maybe worn the watch 5-6 times over the past decade. I'd love to change the look with a different dial. Where do you all recommend to purchase one at a fair price? The blue is stunning! Thx in advance.

Tough call. I would probably go blue as the dial is so strong.

Platinum 5 digit with the coarser shot blast dial.
But then I'm usually old school. Regards |

I've tried on the blue and the rhodium. I like the rhodium watch a lot more. It is currently my favorite rolex and the one I am eyeing to buy one day.
