Ends up being purely personal preference, I personally love the white sub dials versus the new version. It provides a nice degree of contrast and is aesthetically pleasing, but everyone is different.

As compared to the ceramic Pride of Germany, I think that trumps both of the rose gold pieces, but that's just my opinion.

I like all 3 but I feel both rg are more special and will stand the test of time more.

The older rg has more strap options and the contrast is nice. The new one is more dressy.

All three are just stunning and whichever you get you will wish you got one of the other two whoever you see one

I'm a sucker for panda and reverse panda dials so the white version is my choice. Plus you can put a brown camo on it so it is more versatile, and having strap options on the 44s is increasingly important.

White sub dials for me. IMO looks a lot more sporty than the black dial. The white options is a lot more flexible for straps as mentioned above.
