Dial color selection for DJ36 with white lab coat?

Hello guys. Thank you for advice to chose me between 116234 and 126234.

I decide to buy a new DJ36 126234 instead of seeking and waiting till right combination of bezel/bracelet/dial pops up in pre-owned market.

My choice will be fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet for sure to meet dressy look.

I am a clinician and always wear a white lab coat every day.

What's the best dial color of DJ36 for white gown? Blue? silver? or black?

Please advise. Thank you!

The absolutely best dial color for somebody wearing a white lab coat regularly would surely be the one you like the most.

I don't know what color of dial my AD will get. Blue dial is my top list, second is Silver. I am not sure for black dial because my rest of collection is all black dial.

Should I get any dial come first?

Wait for the blue. Silver is nice, but the blue dial on a DJ is a whole new level of stunning.

yeah I should wait until my AD gets the dial what I want which is blue. It seems they are getting different various of DJ36 every week because a sales person keep notifying me when they get a piece every week.

White on white! I think you can't go wrong with white or black. Keep it clean and sterile

If I were you I would buy the silver dial model. Sunburst effect in bright light is beautiful. Goes with everything (as do white and black). I owned a blue dial DJ for a short while a few years ago but quickly tired of it. If the DJ blue was like the blue of either the YM or the TT Sub I'd still own it.

If you can forego a date in your watch, then this might suit you

The best colour for you would be the one you like best.
Although you wear a white lab coat everyday, surely you don't wear it in your free time?

The dials aren't endless on the 126234. In fact they are limited so far. Maybe more in the future we hope. However it is hard not to love the blue index dial.

Another vote for blue. Has the presence of black, but with a little extra style. The silver dial is gorgeous, too, but is not quite as easy to read as a darker dial.
