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

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.

Beautiful. The concentric lines really give the dial dimension. You can see why this is a tough choice. Would love to know detailed thoughts between the two if you want to PM.

Thanks for sharing the pic!
