They're all great. I guess it just depends on what your favorite color is.

This is mine, by the way.

I'll throw one into the mix. The chocolate diagonal motif dial on the Day Date 40. Beautiful sunburst under the diagonal pattern.

Have to say, the green dial on the LV is also amazing.

Seriously contemplating one of these if I can find one at the right price, tried
one at an AD the other day but they wouldn't budge from MRRP. The pics (shamelessly webjacked) don't do it justice. The GS SBGA 003 underneath has the nicest green sunburst dial I've ever seen but has long been unavailable

I don't know about this one. As many know I am looking for my yellow sub. I am having a huge road block passing up the 16618 for the 116618. I think the older version has the better dial, but the newer has a little beefier case. They are way too similar to get both.

That RG DD above is gorgeous too.

This is a great thread. Some real beauties. Hopefully someone has the new wg Daytona blue dial - I'm guessing that one is dynamite.

Grey dial YM?

Blue on the TT Sub is quite nice, but best for me is LVC

I don't think the older dial is that much different, unless you like the purplish hue it can turn.
