Hello from PARIS,
I plan to buy a brand new 116200 but i was wondering what is the best dial to read the time. I know silver is not the best option.
It is a tough decision for me as i d'ont want to make a mistake, I wanted a black concentric dial with arabics number,but now i was told that the white dial is the best to read the time because of the contrast dial and hands.

I would be very grateful if you could help me.

Yes, probably the white dial.

White would be best, but I never had a problem with blue...

Suggest you go to a large AD in Paris and look at there undoubtedly large dial range of watches and see what works best for you. It is rare to see a post like this for DJ's it is usually only raised on Daytonas. Arabic numerals makes a lot of sense I think.

I would say white, but head down to an AD and check them out.
