DD green dial comparison & some more
I picked up today my DD with baguettes only dial and thought to share a comparison with the ombre dial, so it my help whoever is interested in these 2 beauties.
My take on it is as it follows: the sunburst green dial spreads on all the surface of the dial since it lacks the ombre effect and has a warmer tone than the ombre. The bright green dial on this DD is the same that we all know very well from the green Daytona, Sub Date LV and past generation of the DD 36. IMO, the baguette diamonds have a more independent presence since they don't have gold surroundings, like the diamonds on the ombre dial. All in all, there is no wrong choice between them. In my case, i instantly knew i want the bright green dial when it was launched at W&W this year. When i picked up my watch today, i also had a look at an OF RG Daytona and snapped some photos of the blue ombre with diamonds DD 36. Sent from my SM-S918B using Tapatalk

The RG OF Daytona is the next watch I'm looking at and both green dials for the DD are great it's just a matter of preference

I have the RG Brown Ombre dial. I really like it but do wish it had baguette diamonds instead.

I remember i've seen photos of your RG DD ombre dial, looks terrific! I completely agree with you about the baguette diamonds, i really hoped they would release them on yg or wg instead of just platinum version and at W&W they did. I could no longer pass on this

Congratulations
Congrats on the daydate, fantastic choice, wear it in good health.
As you noted, I don't think you can go wrong with either dial choice.... Wife and I felt the baguette dials gave the watch a more 'masculine' feel as opposed to the other diamond dial, but that's just our own personal thoughts.... |

Great comparison pics.
Your 36mm DD is the absolute best in the range imo. That dial is nicer than the ombré 36/40, lacquer green DD40, and olive dial DD40. The baguettes on a 36 are also a game changer. |

I prefer the more vibrant green dial and the baguettes as well.
Congrats again! |

Anyone have the 40mm lacquer? I’m considering it but curious if any owners have become tired of the green after time
