New Dials: Platinum Day Date (DD) 40

It looks like there are new dials on the Platinum Day Date 40, finally!

I love the variety; now for some decision making.

Which do you prefer?

NOTE: I did not include dials with diamonds.

Indeed it is, but I do like the olive on the white metal. Right now, for me, it's between the ice blue motif and the olive.

Ice Blue is the only way to go on Plat. I'd go Ice Blue motif.

These dials aren't new.

Here's a pic from 2015, when the DD40 made its debut.

Interesting. Were all the colors I have on this thread available before today, as well?

Yes. They have been on the Rolex.com website for the past few months.
Nevertheless, they are always a delight to see!

Thanks, didn't notice that. In any event, looks like the ice blues are leading in the Poll.

What I would really like to see is a white dial with navy stripes. Like the Yankees uniform.

Those dials are beautiful , but this is not new dials.

All were in master catalog from the begining (except Green Roman that was added one year ago).

I think the blue one with the blue hands is cool looking, although perhaps it's too "sporty" for a DD.

I'd love to see you get olive, then enable me

I'm sure you remember this guy. Still prefer it to motif. No real losers here.

They are all stunning but the Ice Blue Diagonal is beyond gorgeous. Just incredibly beautiful....... The perfect mate for the PT metal.

Striped grey or rhodium one for me! The smooth bezel is beautiful glad they have that on the platinum model just for a variety.

GMT a couple of years ago, YM and Daytona last year, SD this year, surely the Sub gets a new injection next year, and that ice blue would be nice.
