I have been after a green dial of some sort and I think I've narrowed down to these options. Any thoughts?
1. Omega AT shades green dial 38mm
2. Cartier Santos medium size green dial
3. Rolex Datejust 41mm
How long have you been on the waiting list for the DJ41?

I really fancy the Santos but in large…. They had one at Heathrow Terminal 3 today and it was lovely but wouldn’t discount a penny or offer any incentive . I expect I will kick myself for not picking it up
Aqua Terra shades out of that selection.
I would say DJ, but whether you can realistically get one is another matter.

Save some money and buy the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Petrol.
You can thank me later.

I have one (white dial though). I bought it without trying it on. I was a wee bit concerned, as Id read that they wear large?
I don't think they do though. Lovely watch to wear, very comfy. doesn't wear large at all...I'm glad I didn't get the 35mm one, as I imagine that would wear "small"!
Lets not forget Panerai do one of the nicest green dials going. Just sublime with gold hands.

The recent IWC pilot 41mm green dial is superb. Amazing bracelet and clasp to boot.
Not a bit of me but this is delicious if you can rock one

Always fancied one of these when it came to owning a green dial :

Of the three you mention, the AT would get my vote.

This has always been my ultimate green watch. GO seventies chronograph on bracelet. Unfortunately I've never seen one come up for sale (out of my price range anyway) and I think they were limited to 50/100 pieces?
Photos stolen off watchprosite as I can't find any others.

Each to their own but I find the Romans on the Wimbledon take up too much space on the 36mm making the dial too cluttered. I'm talking myself in and out of a DJ36 almost daily btw. It's always a hypothetical toss up between mint green, silver baton and white Romans. All on jubilee with fluted obvs. Has to be lighter dial colours in 36mm for me as they wear larger.
If you're looking at Rolex, Cartier and Omega with green dials , then I think it's worth thinking about the Seamaster with a green dial->
Anything other than the God awful Hulk!
Geckota do a green dial on a few watches.
I’m used to Panerai so I was concerned it might look a bit small Lol. It was lovely and does come with rubber or leather strap as well as bracelet but as mentioned above movement is not fantastic. It wore very nice an a bit more of a dress watch which I currently don’t have. If they’d done a token 5-10% I probably would have gone for it.
Dubai did have the blue dial which was also very nice and worked out a shade over £6k I think . UK RRP was £7400. . I’ve already got 2 blue dial watches though so really fancied the green
Have you seen the Mido Multifort range
Purely from a visual aesthetics perspective that Panorama is tough to beat, lovely looking watch.
The Santos with the green dial isn't for me.
If budget isn't a concern (subject to availability of the model of course), or unless you fancy something a little different, the DJ41 for me.
With that said, I'd more than happily wear the Aqua Terra.
I agree, I’d take the Oyster Perpetual in green over the DJ, the green dial is quite striking so less bling suits it. Probably the 36 on a 6.5” wrist but the 41 wears better than you’d imagine and isn’t really 41.
FWIW my only green dial, I love the colour, which being a GS changes from green to black and flat to sunburst to textured depending on the light:
I think this is really funky and fun

I love my limited edition NY harbour billion oyster project Oris Aquis with a mother of pearl green dial.
I reckon the Rado Captain Cook in green is quite eye catching:

Surely someone has a Moser
It's just a matter of time...
