Wife got the Call but...

My wife has her eye on these two watches and can't decide which to choose. And to top it off, we got the call today for the black dial edition...

I know the group can't make the decision for her, but she asked me to post and collect the thoughts of the group...

So, which should it be...

Black Dial
Rose Dial

Thanks!

Does she have any other pieces? If it’s a daily the black dial might be a better one and done as it can go with more. That said, the sunburst dials with Roman markers are stunning in person so the rose dial still gets my vote.

Rose dial would be my choice out of the 2 for a lady. I also think it is more subtle with just the diamond bezel instead of diamonds on the dial as well.

A female colleague of mine has the rose-dial DJ - 'in the flesh', so to speak, it looks exceptionally elegant.

Yes.
She has;
268655 - Yatchmaster 36 Rose gold, black dial on oysterflex
178273 - Datejust 31 stainless jubilee with white dial
116244 - Datejust 36 stainless oyster with diamond bezel and MOP dial

We think so too! But on the same breath, she was thinking its a dailywear rotating in with her Yatchmaster. See other reply I made for her Rolex collection. She also has a nice Jaeger Reverso.

I prefer the black dial for the contrast. I suspect the RG might be seen as slightly more feminine though.

Rose gold is a tad classier, more understated, and a little more contemporary.

Seen the rose dial without the diamond bezel in person. Must say it is a nice one

The black dial does seem to make the diamond bezel “pop” a little more in those photos. Thanks Matt for posting those!

Based on that mix I strongly recommend black. Provides something different (for the related category).

My wife is dark haired and the black dial looks fantastic for a dressier night out. She also has MOP, white dial and silver dial watches, which are great but more “daytime” watches (not really, but simplifying).

From those live pics (not stock photos), I think the black dial looks much better.

Huge fan of the light dial! I like the black dial too but it makes the diamonds "pop" a little too much. My wife and I prefer understated watches. She can't go wrong with either option. Fantastic looking pieces.

Wow the black looks amazing on her wrist! Has she tried the rose on?

Black with diamond is beautiful and it contrasts with the RG. I'd totally get that instead.
