White Roman for me

Gaijin · 15 April 2011, 04:36 PM

No contest. White with Romans.

SWIMPRUF · 15 April 2011, 06:23 PM

I don't like the sunburst finish on that champagne, so i'm going for the white roman dial.

Otto · 15 April 2011, 06:39 PM

White w/Romans; But to be totally up front, I had a 118238 with a white dial w/Romans. Eventually, I switched the dial to a champagne dial which I loved. When I bought a new Day Date II, however, I got the white dial w/Romans again. I think the only way I'm going to be totally satisfied is to get another Day-Date with a champagne dial.

In the end, however, I think the white dial is very, very nice in the photo in your past.

How these 20+ year old DD (yours and the one I posted) still have such clean dial really puzzle me. What is the white dial made of?

Cristell · 15 April 2011, 09:35 PM

I prefer the contrast of the white

JJW · 15 April 2011, 11:00 PM

White Roman.

dsio · 15 April 2011, 11:35 PM

Wait a second... something's missing here...

Nobody in this Day-Date thread has recommended Bark?

Is someone sick today?

imono · 15 April 2011, 11:48 PM

Just tossing out some ideas - a 70's look.
Too bad I do not have bell bottoms to show from this era.
Anyone with cool pics of bell bottoms?

zeuloa · 16 April 2011, 12:12 AM

White.

R.G · 16 April 2011, 06:24 AM

Pain for my sham friends and Champagne for my real friends.

Champagne, every day of the week...

LightOnAHill · 16 April 2011, 06:30 AM

The pics online of the champaign don't show how it does vary in color from a lighter to a darker, based on the light. I didn't like the champaign dial from just looking at it online, but in person it's breathtaking and I love it and wouldn't change it on my DD>

pawnshopkiller · 16 April 2011, 06:44 AM

Way to many Champagne dials out there.

RRGHOST1 · 4 May 2011, 05:20 AM

I am glad white won out in the end.

MoosicPa · 4 May 2011, 05:33 AM

Exactly! I thought so even in the 80s so I got white w/ Roman when I bought my first DJ in 1982 (see avatar); guess I was just ahead of my time.

I never did understand the popularity of the champaign dial; to me it clashes with the gold on the watch.

That it does, especially with the stick dial, turns the watch from gold, to beige.

Mistry · 4 May 2011, 06:25 AM

white looks a lot more stunning :)

Cru Jones · 4 May 2011, 07:08 AM

if champagne, sticks, if white, romans....both are great. something tells me champagne is more "classic", but, i think a TT DJ on a jubilee with champagne is what i'm thinking about. for a YG DD, the white with romans looks best.

Raucky · 4 May 2011, 07:59 AM

WHITE....no contest

GMTJOHNNY · 4 May 2011, 11:34 AM

I got white on one DD and Silver on another. The sun reflects off them nicely! My vote- WHITE.

ptugolf · 4 May 2011, 12:46 PM

Champaign for me.

rudegar · 4 May 2011, 02:37 PM

SPARTAN2161 · 4 May 2011, 02:50 PM

You can't go wrong. My grail though is a YG DD with roman numerials. I'd say white dial. Good luck!

Passionata · 4 May 2011, 06:25 PM

white

egzbuen · 4 May 2011, 11:30 PM

I have this but would still vote for white, but, with the bigger roman numbers
