Rolex 18239 Dial Change Suggestions

I going to take my 18239 to the RSC, so I thought it would be a good time to change the dial from the factory Rhodium Roman dial. I’m thinking blue, but I want an easy to read dial, suggestions?

Have you checked out which dials were available for that particular model.
I am having the same done for my Y/G 118238, for the same reason.
I found that white was too white when combining it with the white background for the day and date discs.
Black dial was good.
But in the end I decided on having a silver dial with lume batons.
Of course with W/G that may not look so good!

This past summer, RSC NY swapped my dial to white, and swapped my day and date wheels to white. Love it.

But, that’s my preference.

Also, they have a limited selection. So your not picking from dozens of choices.

The white dial looks best to me on any metal.
