GMTc YG - black or green dial?

Which dial would you buy on the full gold GMTc? I was thinking black but the more I see of the green the more I like it. Black dial seems to hold value better.



JVO300s great pic.

Black for me not a fan of the green but to each his own.

Both are nice, however, I went with this one!



Good luck!

Don't really care for the green dial, especially against the YG and black bezel. Of course maybe it's an unfair comparison of me because imho the black dial YG GMT is one of the most beautiful timepieces to come out of Geneva.

I had to go with black as it was a little more compatible with my wardrobe.

I do love this watch!!! Black is more conventional. The green looks great in all photos, but just not on my wrist. I think the green dial pops and stands out more.

IMHO - I think the green dial clashes with the black and gold of the rest of the watch. The black dial is absolute high class.

Green.
If you're going to get an all yg watch, might as well go all the way and make it pop even more.

I love both but I prefer the Black. Gold and black goes really well!
I would not like the green at all if it had a green bezel as well though.

Green seems a little awkward to me. Too busy of a look, perhaps.

You not see the green dial in the wild very much and it does stand out but, the lack probably looks better with a more varied wardrobe.

Best of luck with your decision.

Green if you got the cojones. Black for everything else - also more versatile.
