New Root Beer GMT - Why no chocolate dial?

I really like the idea of the new root beer GMT with rose gold. However, I can't seem to think that a chocolate dial similar to the Yacht-Master dial would have taken this watch to a whole different level. I can't really tell if the Yacht-Master chocolate dial would match the tone of the new brown GMT bezel.

Based upon the live photo (credit others), I tend to prefer the solid RG model with the black dial. Unfortunately, the RG and Steel model is the one in my budget! lol Maybe we will see this model upgraded next year with a chocolate dial.

That could be interesting but it might have mirrored the Yachtmaster too much. I have to admit that this new on is really starting to sing to me.
