I prefer the white on the OP. The rhodium is just a tad too monotone looking to my eye.

I like the rhodium better just because I had a watch with white dial that I wore for years and years back in college. I think you have to see both in person before deciding. Nothing wrong with the blue dots on the rhodium dial ;)

In my opinion, the white OP39 has more advantages than the rhodium one:

-Brand new design (2018). The rhodium was released at 2015.

-Better legibility all the time. All batons contain lume whereas the Rhodium model only has 3-6-9 batons with lume. This affect it mainly with direct sun light.

-Better combination with coloured pips. Black pips and white dial is a modern and elegant combination. Blue pips and rhodium dial is not the best match.

The rhodium isn't as legible as the white but it looks absolutely *fire*. I just gaze at mine sometimes! :)

Thank you all
I went with the rhodium because I already have a white watch (Grand Seiko). The rhodium dial is gorgeous, but legibility isn't quite as good as it would be with a white watch.
