Lovely

I'm also more of a blue dial fan

I like the legibility of the white dial, even though I love blue dials typically. I'd have to wear each of them to know for sure.

You mean you didn't wear it home?

I'll take one in black, please. I like the red chrono hand on the black one.

And what did you think once it was on your wrist?

I think I'd prefer some sort of color in the sub dial area - at a minimum some gray worked in. Seems a bit washed out IMO.

Blue will always remain my favorite but I must admit this one fits you very well Eric, thank you for sharing!

Perhaps I am being a bit unfair here, as I have not actually seen the white dial model in the flesh.

But for me, I find the colour slightly bland and would always go with blue, as not only being a lovely shade, does appear to change in different light. :)

Well I've seen it, held it, worn it, licked it, etc... And I think it's nice (better than pics for sure) but the classic blue is just mesmerizing.
