Owned the blue and tried the black when they were first introduced. I bought blue as it was spectacular in comparison. I might have considered the white were it available at the time. Ultimately they were too large for me so mine didn't last. It's a great watch if you can pull it off in whatever color you choose.

Even thought I have a blue, I think the white is very sharp.

I prefer the white dial SD, best dial IMO.

Big fan of white dial Rolex in general.

Not crazy at all. I also prefer it over any of the dial options.

Absolutely love white dial Rolexes. Most people gravitate towards black, or blue dials. Guess I go for something different....

The Blue would look better peeking out from underneath a Dark Suit Jacket Sleeve and The White Dial would go with everything else. So, You Should Have One Of Each!

I was offered a black dial and a white while waiting for a blue. I almost gave up waiting and bought the white dial, it is really nice. But in the end I held out for the blue and eventually received it. For me it was the right choice.

It’s such a large imposing watch that white screams as dial real estate. However, it does look extremely crisp. Black doesn’t work in my view. Blue subtly subdues the dial making it very attractive on that particular watch. Not so on the smaller Daytona which better suits the black or white dial.

Preference of one dial color over another is not cause for a psychiatric diagnosis, unless such a preference causes you clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

It’s personal preference, all colors are gorgeous.

I turned down white and black before until I got the blue dial later and very happy with it.

Thanks everyone. I’m pretty happy about the white. Specially how it looks on a sunny day! Really missed the flutter bezel + oyster combination.

You like what you like. I have a black SS and a white TT. I love them both. Of the two, the white is way more legible and easy to read at a glance. The black isn't actually difficult to read, although the deeper set date wheel is harder to see unless I get it in a straight line of sight. This does not affect the white dial so much.

For me it's White>Black>Blue as far as the SkyDweller is concerned.

White dials are quite a Rolex rarity, and on the SkyDweller it just looks so clean.

The white dial is awesome...it pops and the surface has this grainy texture look to it. Can't put my finger on it. But it's definitely unique and not like the white dial on say an EXII or DJ.

Liking this version way better to be completely honest with you. Sometimes we think the most hyped version of a watch is the way to go, and sometimes the hyped one is the best one but not in this case for me.

Hope you’re all having a great weekend :)

For me...blue>black>white in the Sky Dweller. In the Daytona I prefer black to white. Same for the Explorer. It's all personal preference.....and I guess what you can get too!
