Black or White Omega GMT?

I am having a tough time deciding between the Black and White dial GMT Omega Seamaster with the rubber band. Please help me out! Keep in mind that I already own a Blue dial 007 SeaMaster and an Orange dial Planet Ocean. Which dial would be the right one to add to my collection
Pros ? Cons?

Both look great but if you are going with that band then I would have to say, Go with black! It looks better with the rubber band

Do you think that I should have a lighter dial in my collection since both of my other Omega's have a dark dial?

I think it would be a great idea but I would go with the standard stainless band with the white one. JMO

Hands down, I'd go with white. But to each their own. Whichever way you go, I'd buy it on the bracelet and then pick up an Omega rubber strap for about $100 bucks.

Here's my ex-GMT that I'm debating repurchasing. I really love the white dial & rubber strap combo.

Did you mean orange BEZEL Planet Ocean? Didn't know they made one with an orange dial.
Either way I'd go with the black dial. Although I love the white dial, I'm not crazy about it on the rubber strap, and just not in particular on the GMT. Also as others have said, I'd get the bracelet then ADD the rubber strap.
Either way you can't really go wrong!

I would say black. Something about the red accents on the black dial really grabs me.
As mentioned I would get it on bracelet and add the rubber strap (try and get the AD to throw one in)
I had the rubber strap for my PO and it was excellent.

I would go with the white. It's such a refreshing change from the usual black dials
