Left is flat dial 8 dimonds model
Right is Sunburst dial model.

I really have trouble in deciding which model to buy.

I saw Sunburst dial before and I like it.
but never seen Flat dial(smurf) with 8 diamonds before.

Plz help me in selecting which model to buy!

ps.
I don't care about the money problem.

Sunburst for me.

brettpaul 27 June 2014 09:06 PM

I would go flat with diamonds!

Welcome to the forum family :cheers:
If it were me I'd go for the sunburst dial all day long :thumbsup:
I love that dial, it's almost hypnotic when you look at it.
I think I'd look at it just for the sake of looking at it not caring what the time is.

Let us know what you decide

with the YG, the diamonds is too much for me (but, on WG, they work fine).

is flat without diamonds an option?

travisb 27 June 2014 09:11 PM

No diamonds for me.
The one on the right is the perfect TT.

John Atkins 27 June 2014 09:13 PM

Blue Sunburst!

Jack T 27 June 2014 09:18 PM

Flat dial,,no diamonds for me.

I'm not the biggest fan of diamonds. But there are certain dials where I think diamonds look good. This is not one of them. I have the sunburst and I love it.

Me too.

tfly212 27 June 2014 09:47 PM

No diamonds for me either...for some reason whenever I see Rolexes with diamonds I immediately think they are aftermarket even though I know they aren't necessarily. Ruins it for me.

never2late 27 June 2014 09:57 PM

Sunburst is amazing.

nickb732 27 June 2014 09:58 PM

I'd look for flat non-serti.

ess45 27 June 2014 10:00 PM

Sunburst

Turbo23dog 27 June 2014 10:03 PM

Sunburst wins hands down.

Kiddodoc 27 June 2014 10:06 PM

If you were going to have diamonds then it is best on a flat dial as it enhances the appearance of the flat. I have a WG sub with diamonds and it is stunning. It is only one of two in my collection that have diamonds. Nothing wrong with diamonds. If you were getting the sunburst dial then the dial makes up for no diamonds from the sheen it gives off. Tough decision for you. How many watches do you already own?

Old Expat Beast 27 June 2014 10:09 PM

Flat no diamonds.

Im Lauf der Zeit 27 June 2014 10:09 PM

Sorry... money is not a problem but you can't make this decision? Might as well go with diamonds.

Nycturbovr6 27 June 2014 10:15 PM

I would go sunburst!

Diamond dial

alanc 27 June 2014 11:38 PM

Heck, if money's not a problem, buy both!

Seriously, of those two, sunburst all day every day. The flat blue is best with WG, as others have noted.

Welcome to the forum!

:cheers:

Stan_sg 27 June 2014 11:42 PM

Sunburst dial all day everyday.

locutus49 27 June 2014 11:50 PM

No diamonds. Unless you are a gangsta or rapper or under 40 (IMO, so set phasers on stun pls).

As to the dial color, Sunburst really changes depending on the light, from almost black in low light to bright hypnotic blue in sunlight. That is a tough decision. If you want the same color blue all the time, go flat. Otherwise, Sunburst.

Diamond flat is nice but it can't compare to the sunburst IMO

lipjin 28 June 2014 12:36 AM

sunburst - the blue is really striking

1995akcoop 28 June 2014 12:44 AM

no diamonds, thank you

The diamonds really ruin the looks of the watch.

Enjoy the watch no matter the one choose

landroverking 28 June 2014 12:56 AM

No diamonds for me.

Mr Singh 28 June 2014 01:06 AM

Picked up a Sunburst dial few days ago. PHAT watch! Saw the flat blue with the diamonds but too but didn't like it. Too poncy.

Go with the Sunburst, you won't be disappointed!

REDiesel 28 June 2014 01:08 AM

I'm usually a diamond guy, but the daimond looks odd not having gemstones on the 12,6,9 like the Serti, and the sunburst does add a nice dimension to the watch. I'd go diamond, but by a small margin.
