Currently own a Black dial 216570 but like the white dial better, however the black dial 16750 is nicer than the white dial. What is your honest opinion????

Gaijin · 1 February 2012, 01:54 PM

Black for both. But I prefer the red 24 hour hand way over the orange.

Actsulb · 1 February 2012, 01:56 PM

I prefer the white dial on the 16570. My personal favorite.

FNFZ4 · 1 February 2012, 06:01 PM

black dial but im bias

Dr. Robert · 1 February 2012, 06:05 PM

keep it like the original

Psmith · 1 February 2012, 06:18 PM

Black dial for both, but then white/lighter dials don't suit me

Cru Jones · 1 February 2012, 07:26 PM

216570 --- black.
16570 --- white.

travisb · 1 February 2012, 07:28 PM

But with the 216570 I definately prefer the white even though both are gorgeous.

jmsrolls · 1 February 2012, 07:54 PM

Back in 2008, I bought the black 16570 because of its glossy dial.

Last November, I bought the white 216570 because of the black's matt dial. The white was so much more legible.

Dr. Robert,

That is a gorgeous watch. Nothing like the original!

BogeyFree · 1 February 2012, 11:22 PM

I had both a black and a white dial 16570 and sold the white dial and kept the black dial (and still have it) because I think the white dial version looks too much like a cheap Timex with the black painted hands. I just think it cheapens the look. The black dial is very stealthy and elegant looking IMO.

black is cooler, white easier to read, both great choices!

Lion · 2 February 2012, 05:17 AM

I happen to like the white dial models over the Black dials!!!
But I wouldn't kick any of them off my wrist.....

Polemic · 2 February 2012, 05:34 AM

White.

I would have to vote black in any version. Obviously, it a personal preference.
