Both are really nice, though I prefer the baguette version as well.
I went (preowned) with the the "other" (third) option. I couldn't decide between this and the baguette version, and I knew I didn't want the romans (just personal preference), so I can appreciate the dilemma!
New dial for DD40
So after 6 months of ownership I switched from the (originally built-in) baguette diamond dial to the more blueish and now discontinued four sector dial which I purchased together with the watch from my AD. Now it looks much more sporty than with the bagu...
yes, I was able to purchase a second dial with the watch
always fact when your original dial has some kind of diamonds set into it. thus you don't have to turn it in when flipping the dial and 1:1
It’s great to have both; as it’s a tough choice.
I’ve seen the sector several times and I was never so sure about it; but your pictures here make me think again. That said, my vote is for the diamonds !
I am getting used to it after some days now
But the DD is really different with this dial compared to diamonds 3:2 sector

Yes, I like that as well due to the lume
but a good friend had this version already so it is more fun to have different styles when we meet 3:3 now
I like that current dial
In my opinion with that dial the watch goes better together with casual clothing. The baguette dial is more dressy and maybe not for daily wearing.
A tie for me
Amazing how these subtle changes transform the DD! And testament to Rolex for never screwing these things up. Imho the diamond dial is the more coherent, understated elegance. The Roman dial introduces a cool, casual flairand it is certainly less often se...
It doesn't look like the same watch! What a difference the dial makes.
Both look super. But if I had to choose just 1 (and didn't have the other to switch), I would go for the diamonds. It has that "DD look" that I am used to and love. (p.s. I am right now having trouble deciding which dial I would like for my own.)
the dial is designed in four sectors - each with his own structure
in this pic you can see it better when you enlarge it ...
me neither, funny idea somehow by Rolex
but it makes the dial even more vivid combined with the blue hands
I find the Roman numeral dial more compelling.
Diamonds are nice but less to my taste preferences. Maybe I’m too Old School but I would more associate them with feminine timepieces.
Grail watch for me
I like the Roman numerals and I think it’s also the hands that make that version pop so much.
Shall I tell you the truth…
I (usually) don’t like baguette dials for men as I associate them to women’s watch. But on a DD and specially with the ice blue dial I have to say that I find it strong and powerful but also classy without being ostentatious or show off. On the other hand...
You are absolutely right
The diamonds fit so well with this dial and in this watch. I had the choice between the Platona with diamond markers or this one with diamond markers and actually before seeing the DD40 I was 100% sure to take the Platona. But this one is so much under th...
Thank you my friend
now a tie at 6:6 - seems Rolex is doing well in designing dials for every taste on a high level ;-)
