I like them both and have mostly matte in my vintage watches but... I do sometimes stare at a glossy black insert and can't help but see the 'mismatch' with a matte dial though... I think a glossy dial can make the watch look more cohesive... but maybe then there is less charm!?

Matte dial, SEL, holes through the case for the springbar is what I like so I keep my triple 6.

Prefer the Matte.
I have the 114060 and the 116600. The SD4k always gets more wrist time, the dial is one of the reasons. |

I had the SD4K when it first came out. I didn't appreciate it at the time....I really regret selling it and will likely reaquire one at a much higher price. As many have said, it's possibly the best modern Rolex.

Anything with the WG surrounds I lean towards gloss pretty well.

Rolex Dive Watches - Matte or Glossy Dial?
I know the AR coating also makes a difference but I much prefer the gloss black dial on my 124270 to the matte dial on the MKII explorer More contrast / more depth/ more pop IMO. I suspect my opinion would be the same if I owned both submariners…… the new 41mm sub looks magnificent ..Explorer & Spring Diver - I’m just here for the photos.. |

The darker the glossier the better for me.

I like both, but matte is my preference *PO2500 and SD43).
