Same for me.

101031-28 · 31 May 2018, 11:12 PM

My preference is for the 16520. So white dial it is

24 nights · 31 May 2018, 11:18 PM

Both?

beshannon · 31 May 2018, 11:18 PM

I prefer legibility so I chose white

+1. With my aging eyes, the black just won’t work for me.

soran · 31 May 2018, 11:33 PM

The white seems to be more popular. Interesting... dark dials are usually stronger

True but you're also comparing white with black subdials rather than white with silver subdials. That puts white at an advantage with many.

MinMay · 31 May 2018, 11:46 PM

white has zero contrast with the stainless steel, therefore, i choose black. Also, black goes with everything...more masculine.

white reminds me of the white iphone...and I hated it after owning it for 1 month.

Rocmytims · 31 May 2018, 11:48 PM

Black looks better, white is easier ro read
Id say white

c41006 · 31 May 2018, 11:51 PM

I prefer the white dial

hun23 · 31 May 2018, 11:56 PM

I prefer my white for legibility

Soleless Shoes · 1 June 2018, 08:40 AM

In the OP, the white is a 16520 and the black is a 116520. I prefer the 15620 model to the 116520 model and therefore the white. White vs black on the same model is a different comparison.

viper · 1 June 2018, 08:45 AM

White for the 116520, Black for the 116500

dafuture · 1 June 2018, 08:48 AM

For the 116520 my choice is white for sure

Urosfan · 1 June 2018, 09:34 AM

Agreed!

Seaswirl · 1 June 2018, 10:45 AM

I love the black 116520 and owned one for about 6 months. I just couldn’t read the time on it so I flipped for the white.

dkg1616 · 1 June 2018, 10:57 AM

White; it’s my grail watch but refuse to pay the premium for a used one...really hoping they bring it back into production at some point (ya ya ya I know I’ll keep dreaming)

kcmo · 1 June 2018, 11:15 AM

White

leooooo · 1 June 2018, 12:04 PM

+1 white dial

Made the same choice for myself just 2 weeks ago

Glidelock · 1 June 2018, 12:49 PM

On the 116520....it's White all day long!

The black 116520, although beautiful, fly's so far under the radar that it's practically invisible! The white 116520 is not excessively blingy...it just seems to have the right amount of contrast and POP!

Now the ceramic Black...is a whole different story, as having had the opportunity to try on both the White and Black at the same time...they both have so much contrast and beauty, that it I simply waffle back and forth on which one I would get!

BNA/LION · 1 June 2018, 12:50 PM

Many POLLS done on this and White Always Wins!

Stevec14 · 1 June 2018, 04:29 PM

White on this reference, black on the ceramic for me.

Bit of an unfair contast with a pic of the 16520 in white and the 116520 in black. As far as 116520's go the black wins hands down. 16520 and 116500 possibly the white!!

That's true. Couldn't find a good 116520 black/white comparison
