Among those four, I prefer the Arabic. Grey/green would probably win if it didn't have the rectangle at 9.

My doubts....
Black Arabic, too bold for a dress watch?
Black Roman, looks like your grandma's wall clock?
Champagne, classic but the 80's are long gone?
Slate, will I get sick with the green after a while?

Have you checked out the TT with ivory dial, I think that looks quite nice. It has the stick dial.

Are the green Roman numerals painted on the dial or what?
The gold Romans look much classier to me.

You do realise that you will get the results only to find the winner is your least favourite at which point you will realise which one it was you wanted all along

Champagne sticks.

Slate dial with green romans by a long shot. One of the best looking dials ever made and definitely the best one for the TT DJ II.

Love the slate and green. Although the rectangle at 9 does seem a little out of place and I wish they would have just put a numeral there, it looks much better in person than in pictures.

Black and Gold is my fav Rolex combo so the Romans, but slate dial is a very close second, and agree should be a numeral at 9.

I voted Arabic. Beautiful in daylight but also when those concentric Arabics are glowing against the black dial and gold bezel- wow.

The Slate Green is a stunner, but I think the one lume marker at 9 only, and on the hands, its just a bit of an awkward solution.

Lume important? Arabic. Not important? Black/ Gold Roman. Black and gold arguably more versatile and timeless as well.

I voted stick dial. Arabics would be my second choice. Both due to lume.
