Day-Date II 218206 Ice Blue Dials - Which One?
Despite its short lifespan, I've always been a fan of the DD2's size, dial options, and yes, even its much-criticized bezel / proportions.
Which of the the platinum reference's ice blue dials would you go with?

The second or third choice. Numerals no matter what. Love the DD2.

I wouldn't get a DDII but if I had to choose one of these it would be option C

I prefer the Roman Concentric and have owned it a couple of times. I have also owned just the Roman Numeral dial once. Cool watch.

It’s concerting to know that the dial I have always preferred has the most votes by our community. We must all have good taste.

You do not see them that often, but there was an ice blue sticks dial, that is my favorite.

Agree. They seem so unique to that era.

I can’t offer more than I already did, but the roman numerals dial without concentric ring always appealed to me the most. I originally assumed it was just my taste but I see that the votes are healthily in favor of that dial too. Oddly enough I have had the DDII platinum on my radar for quite some time but just haven’t gotten around to pulling the trigger. I prefer its size and proportions on my 17 3/4 wrist. This thread has motivated me to revisit this reference.
