Black or White DateJust? (readability vs style)

Hello!
Objectively, I'm looking for the dial that’s easier to read, day or night, for tired, old eyes.

Subjectively, I can’t decide which dial is better looking.

Can you help me decide these two issues?

Thank you for your input!

Dark colors are MUCH easier to read, but white no where near as bad as the champagne

I love the white dial 126300... but in two tome I prefer the champagne stick dial and flat bezel 303.

hey, thanks for your input.
In the Dude's voice: Is that just like your opinion, man?

Now no longer Dude's voice: Or is that science?

From those 2 would probably choose white. Check also the grey / rodhium color as look very nice at least on pictures

White dial. I prefer a black dial for a Sub or GMT.

leave the black dial for your sports watches. Use the "DJ slot" for white.
