Incoming ... 114300 'white'

Had a visit to local AD on Friday ... they had the Explorer and the 114300 for me to try. Went with the 114300 as the dial is a beaut. I almost can't call it 'white' .. when you hold it next to something that is pure white there's a big difference. It's eggshell, grey, linen, cream, silver... even magnolia at times. The luminova on the hour batons are pure white (when not glowing) which looks great against the dial.

It's also a very comfortable and wearable watch. A bit under the radar and a super daily wear that works with anything.

Also, I really enjoyed purchasing from my local AD for the first time. Had good experience and they carried out a small repair on my 1680 for free while I was there.

Just a few rushed pics .. will try to capture some better ones of the dial ..

Congrats, the new white-dial 39mm OP is a complete winner. Glad to hear that the dial is slightly off-white. Sounds (and looks) really intriguing! Hope you thoroughly enjoy it. Regards, -Rick.

I would say the 114300 is the big winner of the 2018. Beats out the pepsi as it seems more attainable for the majority of people.

I know where there is one right now that you can walk in and buy with no AD politics. Thats the beauty of it! There is 0% for the Pepsi.

The 114300 is the most versatile piece in my collection. I recently got the Dark rhodium dial and I wear it everywhere for any occasion.
