Rhodium. Only because the pips on the blue are too neon green.

Red grape. You can get blue and rhodium on other models.

My wife has the red grape in a 34 and I have to say the richness of that dial is spectacular. I'd wear it in a 39 all friggin day.

Red grape for some range in a collection.

I think I will definitely have to see the red grape in person. Perhaps pics/videos don't do enough justice to it.

Blue for me. I found the grey to be a bit flat.

Interesting opinion ya'll! I saw the blue recently and found it to be oh so flat... The grey was just pure pure class!

I'd personally go for something different with the grape dial.

Rhodium, but I would have to see it more in person. I have seen a few pictures where the dial looks pretty light and a bit monotone. I think it's just the pictures, but I would prefer a dark grey. Blue is a close second, and I wouldn't be too surprised if I changed my mind after trying them on back-to-back.

Well this is a surprise! The rhodium gray is now almost double the votes of the blue. Both were neck to neck for a while there.

Make sure you go see them in person. From pictures, I thought for sure the rhodium would be the one for me, but in person it just didn't sing to me. I thought the blue was stunning though

Blue; but I'd hold out hope that Basel brings out a green one like they have in the 34mm
