If it sings to you, get the baton. It's gorgeous

My best answer to such questions is "Buy Both".

Which do you like more? Have you tried both on? Me personally, it's hard to not live Rolex blue dials.

Roman looks modern...baton looks very formal.

I just don't want to think I went wrong

Hi,

I'd say the only way you could go wrong is by purchasing one that you don't actually like, or getting something other than the one you really want. There's no point in buying anything other than the dial that appeals to you. The last thing you want is every time you look at your watch to be thinking "if only I'd gone with the other dial".

Hopefully you've tried them both on several times. That's the only sure way to know which one's for you. Good luck with your decision.

As mentioned, the best way to know is to try them on. One on each wrist and just take a good look. Your brain and heart will lean towards the winner.

I personally have the baton DJII, and I think its beautiful. (my profile pic) The lume on the sticks is quite a sight, too!

The azzurro is a great color choice on the DJII
