What dial would you stay with? The first photograph is my original watch and the second is a Photoshop with an Onyx dial.

The onyx is strong but for day to day wear it would be the original.

The original is a stunner imho. The Onyx makes me want to say, "nice Movado Museum."

GuilleVido · 31 December 2019, 11:55 PM

The original looks better to me, grettings from barcelona !!!

i would pick the original dial......because i would have hard time figuring what time it is on the onyx dial~

timepieceluvr · 1 January 2020, 01:25 AM

Between these I would vote onyx. It’s so unique and special.

The champagne dial is for sure iconic but it’s because there were so many produced. If you can switch and retain the original it’s a no brainer.

PS... for those who think it’s hard to read the time without markers you should try to read the time on a champagne dial Day Date, it’s next to impossible!

Can you post pic again, I can’t see anything.

AndyWright · 1 January 2020, 02:05 AM

Photo is gone, I know the onyx dial Im not a huge fan.

Tridor · 1 January 2020, 02:06 AM

Onyx for me.

DoxaDavid · 1 January 2020, 02:12 AM

Your pictures aren't showing up but I have seen both. I’m not a big fan of the all onyx dial without markers if that is the one you are looking at?

I originally had the champagne stick dial as well and went the other color direction with a white roman dial. Love that combo.

Original

Now

NoVaSubowner · 1 January 2020, 02:15 AM

Not a huge fan of the Onyx dial. It’s your watch, therefore your preference.

If it were my watch? Classic Champagne or Silver. With sticks.

That white Roman dial is the best of the three.

Rafabond · 1 January 2020, 02:44 AM

I see the photographs well, I do not understand how some do not see them

JoseR · 1 January 2020, 02:55 AM

Original by a mile...

904VT · 1 January 2020, 02:57 AM

I prefer hour markers

LazySumday · 1 January 2020, 09:53 PM

I don’t see the pics, but have an onyx dial DD. Really the only reason I went with a DD. It is so unique and has a certain presence. Might it look like a Movado... yes, but whatever. It has a certain look to it. Not your typical DD.

One question that I always notice why are all the older DDs the day wheel never sits in the middle.

I've seen this with tonnes of these now. Is it because it just needs a service or what?

Regarding your question - keep the original dial
