Loving these pics. The white rocks. So sick of the endless blue posts ... (and my 5711 is blue, I admit it, but I got it when it was first introduced. Today, I'd go white.).

As the author of a recent blue vs. white color war poll here recently, and a blue voter, I will say that the white watch is stunning and I would be thrilled to own one. Kudos to the owner/photographers who posted here!

The blue is a classic no doubt, but in my opinion the white is more modern and stands out.

I think the white gets dismissed or hated on way too easily.

I'm planning on getting a 5711 sometime soon. Are the white dials selling for considerably less and more available?

Trading at least at a 10% discount. There are many more blue produced though.

Apologies you mean the white is 10% cheaper than the blue in the grey market. Thought you could get a 10% discount at an AD

I'm sure I could get some % off at my dealer if they had a white 5711.. but they don't and they probably wouldn't sell it to me if they did.

Beautiful pics here.

Have any white dial owners ever felt the dial is 'too' bright/white on a bright sunny day?

Nope. The watch is equally beautiful under the sun or rain (though the shades of white will vary).

Maybe should have gotten the white and not blue, but really a blue fanatic, though I find the white amazing
