I am extremely pleased that everyone agrees with me, it is usually the other way around.

We have a saying in the UK, The monarch is always right and she seems to have got it right in this instance.

Regards

Mick

What looks good or bad on your computer screen can look totally different when it is on your wrist. That applies to colours as well as layout and design.

I was, for 12 years, in charge of buying postage stamps from specialist printers for the British Royal Mail and every day I saw large pictures of stamps that looked totally different to the little stamps that you stick on envelopes. No decisions were ever taken on the final design until a correct size mock up was made.

Incidently, every stamp design had to be personally approved by the Queen and she always insisted on viewing an actual size stamp. She would never accept a larger picture in a million years. So if nothing else, learn from her.

Well put, I'll try both on before giving my opinion.

Need to see in person. Professional pictures can never be trusted and are often misleading. Can't wait to see these two side by side.

I wonder how many people will be wanting the white dial, and their AD calls and says it's looking like April 2017 before I can get you one but I have the black right now.... Will they wait or buy black?

Exactly.
