It's great to see a person like minded, I did order the watch on the left with the black dial although I am not into rose gold.
Well,I just need it's ref number to avoid wrong order. Good thing,I sent a couple of pictures of that watch
Thanks for the pictures

Thank you! All dials on this watch are beautiful...the detail and cimbination of the chocolate dial, black 'presence' on the black/champagne (similar to the dial I have on my YG) and the cleanliness of the cream/off white; decision is hard and just personal tastes. IMHO no one is 'better'. Love mine but have to agree that all are stunning

All are beautiful! And on the RG Daytona ordering is simple...it is black, white (ok, cream) or chocolate, no 'white with sticks, white with romans, white with bold romans, white with arabic....', and as I said before, all dials are a beauty!!! Congratulations on yours!

Had a 'guiso de la abuela' last night. A SUPERB dish with the owner's grandmother recipe including beef, potatoes, carrots and 'special ingredients'. This presented with rice and black beans and several bottles of Norton Malbec-Privada '09 (poor lighting)

a very special piece Gerardo, I have the one with the chocolate dial and the combo of
ceramic, rose gold on leather is to die for! I find that the ceramic and leather tones down the rose gold when compared to the full gold bezel and bracelet to make it more subtle. congrats and enjoy!

A stunning watch indeed; all dials are beautiful, and I agree on the uniqueness of the leather-RG-ceramic pairing!

I concur!

Hence why this is the first watch that I've looked at that is RG.

The contrast tones down the RG but at the same time brings out its colour.
