Please help me pick which one!

I think I've narrowed my WG Datejust re-configuration to one of the two options below. Note that my poor photoshopping skills limited me to pasting a steel case on top of the white gold case in order to show the 2 dial options. HOWEVER, MINE IS THE WHITE GOLD CASE. One other thing the pics don't capture is that the white dial is a very flat glossy white and the sliver has a more textured shine.

Feedback very appreciated!

In real life silver but by your picture, white.

Yeah, the picture doesn't really do justice to the shine of the silver. The only downside to it is the more monochromatic look with the WG.

I have owned both and I find the white dial to be easier to read (at a glance) in dim light, so that would be my choice.

Silver dial looks great on this watch. Looks so much better in person. Pictures doesn't do it justice.

have both white and rhodium dial rolexs... Like em both, but white always feels a bit crisper and fresher. I'd go with white, for contrast.
