The white dial is excellent...it isn't a bright white, but has a nice shimmer to it. Almost like a pearl white with a very slight silver tint. It's different than any other dial Rolex makes.

The YG hands and indices stand out well on the white dial, aiding legibility and being both complimentary and contrasting.

Unlike the black dial, the 24h wheel is in a contrasting hue which makes it easier to pick out at a glance. The sunburst of the black dial is subtle, for much of the time the dial is black. For this reason the 24h disk can get lost in all the black.

The white dial is dusted with metallic particles. It can be white, cream, light grey, and under certain lighting conditions can pop and glitter. A TT RG version would really be something.

Mine came on Oyster and is plenty comfortable. I now have a Jubilee for it which is at another level for wearing comfort.

Love the black dial. Can go from jet black to slate grey depending on the lighting.

What was that phrase? Once you go black, there’s no turning back?

I would go white dial if the choice is black or white with YG. I own a YG Sky-Dweller with the champagne dial and in the larger than life big watch game it stands out.

White, unless you have a smaller wrist. Black reduces apparent size.

Think I am going white! I was leaning towards it. The wife says black is more masculine... I think the white works with the yellow gold better.
