I decided on the day date 2 as my first gold watch although picking a dial seems hard for me to do. For those who have or have owned one what would you say is the nicest ? I am thinking of the ivory Arabic numbers as first choice, the white roman as second and the black Roman as third. Please give me some feedback and help me through my decision because I will never see them all side by side.

I love Romans on the white dial. Don't have the privilege of owning a Day-Date, but I used to love this one

To me, Roman numerals are dressier than Arabic, and make it a very special "special occasion watch." If you plan to wear it daily however, the Arabic dial may be better suited to your needs.

nyfida · 3 October 2014, 01:44 AM

I would say the white romans would be the most popular on this forum.

BNA/LION · 3 October 2014, 01:59 AM

I guess you can always change up the dials if you are inclined too. There are a lot of great options out there. I went with champagne with diamond markers...

jjnd08 · 3 October 2014, 03:18 AM

It'd be tough for me to pick between white roman, or chocolate roman.

I hope to someday get to decide...

Ofcourse this is great although on another level.

Yes but the style is available in gold.

That's one of my favorites too, but it's not available on the gold models that he's considering.

No but the dial style is.

ColRam425 · 3 October 2014, 03:32 AM

My father has a WG DDII black arabic on a slightly less-than-black dial. Looks really cool!

ssultan · 3 October 2014, 03:38 AM

Man, it's hard enough making up your mind with the limited selection in the date-just dials...I'd go crazy deciding on the day-date...

brandrea · 3 October 2014, 03:42 AM

For me, it would depend on the color of gold.

Most definitely.

What color of gold are you thinking?

Thinking yellow gold.

Well then, let me suggest the silver...

Really like the ivory arabic with concentric too. I may try to source that one down the road for a change up look.

Silver would probably be more interesting than white so would be my choice too

AK797 · 3 October 2014, 05:13 AM

For YG, white Roman, for RG, chocolate Roman. Those still leave you with a black dial YG GMTc or Subc partner.

This does make a lot of sense since I do want the gmt gold also for more sporty and would definitely work in a collection

White romans on a yg

Eric Chan · 3 October 2014, 02:59 PM

Don't own a DD II, but if I did, the choices would be as follows:

YG: White roman dial
RG: Chocolate roman dial
WG: Black roman dial
PLT: Ice blue roman dial

1William · 3 October 2014, 09:05 PM

I went with the White Roman Dial because I thought it had a clean and classic look.

Racerdj · 3 October 2014, 09:07 PM

This one was the one I kept seeing other member pictures of and decided to go with a very classic choice. (the prior post is one of the most influential ones viewed)I have really enjoyed it so far.

There's really only one choice for DD or DD II......Champagne Dial/Stick Markers..........now, you have a true Iconic Rolex!!!! Truth be told, you can't go wrong with whatever you chose!!!! Enjoy!!!!

100thmonkey · 4 October 2014, 06:41 AM

Baby Blue is my choice

travisb · 4 October 2014, 06:49 AM

So many nice options.
For RG I like chocolate / romans
YG white / romans
WG unsure - I did see one with a chocolate dial with wg romans and it was VERY cool.
PT Mike's dials the obvious winner

LAFlyer · 4 October 2014, 07:01 AM

I like the silver with linen finish, myself. Get what YOU like. You will see it more than everyone else combined.

yakmeister · 4 October 2014, 07:01 AM

Let me toss a vote out for silver / romans. It just seems very classy to me.
