Hypothetical Submariner Choice

Just for a bit of fun and a change from value threads and covid19..

Imagine this; it's 2021 and on the back of how popular the Omega Seamaster 300 with the white dial is selling, Rolex releases a stainless steel Submariner with a WHITE dial for the first time ever!

You've had your name down for a Submariner with your chosen AD, they call you and say "it's your lucky day, we've just had a delivery and we have a choice of Submariners for you, SS Black dial and the new SS White dial, would you like the new white dial version?"

Which option would you chose?

A) Yes please I'd love a WHITE dial Sub!

Or

B) No thanks, I'll take the classic BLACK dial!

I'd go with option A, I think it would be a great change to have a white dial diver.

Apologies for not creating a poll, I wasn't sure how too!

Sub, is the black dial watch. So for me, I would not opt for a white dial.

White dial only if I like it after seeing it. I can buy a black dial any time.

I would have to see it but if I liked it, I would make the purchase.

I have a black and a green dial, so, yes a white dial maybe nice, but would have to see it first.

Black. Now if they ever came out with a blue dial and/or bezel, that's a different story.

I couldn't find a decent mock up of one on the web, but the image above is what I had in mind, except for the bezel which I would keep black. Do it would be white dial with black accents and a black bezel.

So that's 5 solid votes for keeping it traditional with black and 4 maybes on the white so far
