Icon10 Best dials for 2 tone datejusts
Got any pictures of 2 tone with oyster band and fluted bezel (116233), especially silver jubilee, ivory jubilee, grey, champagne sunbeam and champagne jubilee dials? I'd like to find the perfect combination!

Sorry I just have the slate dial, but I still think this one is the best.

Here's my black dial, gilt, stick indices DJ.
The bracelet is in the box, I prefer a strap.

I have a champagne dial, probably the most traditional and I do like it...that said, I love the champagne tapestry.

As far as modern TT, I would love to buy a rose gold with black sunbeam dial...

Silver and champagne stick dials, champagne tapestry dial and white roman are all great looking and IMHO "classic" datejust.

I personally chose the silver stick dial as my iconic datejust.....I grew u admiring this watch where ever I saw it. If I didn't get this silver sail, I would have probably ended up with a champagne stick or champagne tapestry dial.
