I am in the same situation as you. Can't decide and have trouble finding AD's which have some to show... It sucks

I agree with the champagne dial with diamonds but just one difference. I like rubies on the 6 and 9 o'clock

DD II YG with Romans Ivory Dial. The champagne dial is so classic, though.

I went through this last month. It's a tough choice. I almost bought the White Roman, but changed last minute to Ivory Arabic, and couldn't be happier. It's more sporty, and that's what I wanted. The White Roman is more dress up.

However I will look at the MOP diamond dials when Rolex offers them for the YG DDII. I have a weakness for MOP and diamonds! I have a YG DDI with a MOP diamond dial and it's my second favorite watch, behind the DDII.

Thanks you all guys, now I am flipping between champagne w/ diamond and champagne w/ lumi sticks.



I have some sportier rolex already, I'd like to add bling-bling in my collection...



Mmm, maybe just go ahead for the diamond, my AD said a lot of people regret not getting the diamond after getting old, I am 42 now, she said very soon you will appreciate your decision on diamond dial... How do you guys think? I am asking opinion from "senior" rolex owner... :-)

I have always liked the YG ivory concentric....my cousin has one and it looks perfect.
I really like the fact that they are putting rubies in the dials now...I really like the all blinded out gold dial and the black diamond/ruby dial.

I'm sorry RG doesn't work for you, for my favorite looking DD combo is the brown and diamond/ruby dial.
Good luck with your choice.

You can't go wrong with any one. But be sure to see them in person before pulling the trigger. The champagne does look different in pics vs in person. Both nice, just different.

I just re-read your original post and saw that you tried on the champagne diamond. So all is good! BTW - I'd go with diamond over sticks.

Champagne with sticks would get my vote, the watch has plenty of bling without adding Diamonds but whatever floats your boat, we all like different things
