I believe reason for that is to have lume space.

Sunburst in my opinion. Diamond watches are for the wives, lol.

Welcome to the Forum, first of all.

Go with the sunburst dial. Can't speak for others, but diamonds just aren't my cup of tea and neither is the flat blue dial. Rolex made a great decision by bringing back the sunburst dial to the LB. This one is definietly on the list for my next Rolex purchase.

I skip diamond dials. So the sunburst would be my choice for you.

I really have trouble in deciding which model to buy.

I saw Sunburst dial before and I like it.
but never seen Flat dial(smurf) with 8 diamonds before.

Plz help me in selecting which model to buy!

ps.
I don't care about the money problem.
Diamond serti dial is my choice cos that's what i own... plus the gold trim around the date aperture is a additional feature and cos serti dial is rarer than the sunburst dial version...
