Hi guyz,

(it's my first time to post a poll thread, and I mis-posted in the previous thread. Sorry!)

I'm just curious what's current temperature on 116500LN. Thanks!

I've preferred the white so far because of the contrast and the opportunity to have a white dial professional model. But I have to admit, pictures of the black dial are growing on me. Haven't seen either in person though.

Holding out for white. Both ADs I worked with offered to get me a black dial but I'm gonna wait it out. Both are beauties though.

What I don't understand is.. DayC polls always tell White is more popular. But in the replies from othter threads, it seems Black is more popular. Why is that? White owners are shy? haha :)

Black. Not even close for me anymore. White isn't a panda and never will be. Black looks more cohesive. Unfortunately, neither is a modem proxy for a 6263.

I think it's speculation for many as most non owners haven't handled them yet, certainly not together. My tastes change based on pics I see, which is probably why I've gone back and forth

Was offered white first which I originally wanted then saw the black and ended up wanting it more so got it back in June. I have the white on order though and should have sooner than later for the pair. If only one though it would have to be the black.

The funny thing is the customer who ended up with white I passed on asked my AD if I would swap my black for his white a few weeks ago.

Black. The white dial looks like a Tag F1 I used to have.

White!

Why are there so many black for sale in the grey market - people are keeping the white but flipping the black.

I would have loved the black and bought it if the sub dials had been white and not silver, the watch is missing part of the update. That is white beats black for me.

For me the white. It looks like the better of the two for legibility.

Black won me over instantly but then white started growing on me and now surpassed the black. But honestly, I'd be happy with either one.

White. But then though about it, and let one go when offered... not fan of PCLs or artificial marketing hype.

I am waiting for a white dial since day 1. I was offered and tried the black dial but
I am ultimately biased towards the white dial so I refused the black one.

If I could pick one it would be white but if a black was offered, I wouldn't turn it away.
