DD40 Dials.

I am looking at buying a DD40 but wondering if there are other dial combinations apart from those on the website. I prefer the white dial but this is only available in white gold which is pointless as no one will notice it. The yellow gold models only appear to have gold dials and I would prefer a bit of distinction between dial and case colour.

Well, there was a member who posted a new DD40 with a silver dial. Looked great.

At least you are honest about wanting to be noticed...

Have you considered rose gold? There are some interesting dial choices there

The yellow gold offers several dials. My personal favorites are the diagonal dials

not seen the black diagonal before, looks very nice, the pattern seems less obvious and looks more legible than the diagonal dials in other colours

Frustrating that the Rolex site never shows all the dial choices. Is there a complete list somewhere?

Your AD should have a book showing all the dial possibilities.

I have the 36 mm DD in YG/white dial. I tried on the 40 mm YG/silver dial several months ago and really liked it. I would try to find one to try on.

I am quite drawn to the Roman Blue Sunburst dial featured on this WG DD40 model in the Rolex magazine. Yet to seen one though. Anyone got some real life pics to share?

If you do a search, you'll find many pictures have been posted here. Try dd40.
