Love the black, have the white, both are difficult to read, white better though. I had not thought it was a big deal prior to getting it, but it is kind of a nuisance.

White as not only does it look better but also subs and gmts are black so this is a great chance to have a nice white dial sports Rolex.

Is the white a bit too unisex?

White. Except explorer most sport watches are black. That is why I choose white. However the sub dials stand out more on black.

Ahh a riff on the Pepsi / Coke, Sub, Sub Date idea.
What are you trying to accomplish? A buying decision? Which do you like better and why? |

Black all the way, I personally don't find it difficult to read at all.

Black definatly. Has a much sportier and masculine appeal to it in my opinion.

I always prefer a black dial over a white dial there's no rhyme or reason just my preference.
