I doubt that. More likely people who have them don't want to sell them. Regardless, I'd just go with what is speaking to you and not try to factor to much in about how rare it is, etc. Hard to know these questions anyway. For me it's more important to have the right watch on your wrist! just my two cents.

Yeah - I think I prefer the P.O. 8900 now.. especially if I can get that 20pc discount from somewhere hmm

Own the black and love it - set and forget, goes with everything. Really though just a matter of preference - nothing wrong with either and they are much more similar than different. I would just think of it from a more general perspective of what you need in your next watch.

You can actually get a better deal on that one - from what I'm seeing around 30 percent can be had. Happy hunting.

[Linuxpenguins]

Now I’m looking at 210.92.44.20.01.001
Strap/Finish Rubber,Ceramic

Gorgeous! Now torn between this and the blue P.O. 8900

[Stevec14]

Blue for me as I have other black dial watches. I’d go for rubber however and slightly preowned - not a fan of the bracelet at at approx £3k terrific value

[Linuxpenguins]

If I could get 30pc off at an AD in uk that’s 3640 not sure where or how I’d get that much off mind hmm beaver brooks or goldsmiths

Have you tried this watch on? At 43.5mm it's fairly larger. For this sort of money you really need to be sure.

Personally I wouldn't complete a purchase based on other watches. I suggest waiting for the AD's to re-open after the lock down and then seeing each watch on the wrist.

I'm really tempted by the 300m White Dial on the black rubber strap but it's too much of a risk buying unseen, especially for a larger piece. While I can more than likely negotiate a better discount at the moment I would rather spend a little extra and be 100% happy.

Oh yeah. I’ll not buy online.. I’m expecting 30% off RRP else I’ll not buy

[EdwardC]

I would pick the white

[SydR]

I have so many black dial watches I’m looking at the blue for myself.

[RedwinGV]

IMO, black is more versatile, but the blue pops better. So I don't know when you plan on wearing it.

Of course I march to a bit of a different beat since I have a Big Blue. I also have a black faced Rolex GMT that balances things a bit.

I went with blue having tried on all 3 in the store. This one just popped that bit more for me and having no other blue dialled watches made the decision easy in the end.

Having said that for a 1 and only I would go black.

The white was actually the one I has my heart set on based on pics but the dial just seemed a bit flat/sparse in the metal.

Oh and rubber strap for all 3 - really not keen on the bracelet for this model.

Did you get discount if so how much and from where

[rchuah]

Two tone black/sedna. love that combination!

[GadgetGeek]

Black, no question.

[kspindola]

No gray or white? Although not traditional, they are beautiful!!

[Arden425]

All four colors are nice but if I had to rank-
1 black
2 blue
3 white on rubber strap
4 grey

Currently my new favorite is the black ceramic 300m

[encarter13]

I prefer the Glue, but the black still looks great!

[samson66]

I like the blue but both are real stunners

The only thing I don't love about this watch is the bracelet. I would prefer the rubber strap on either to the bracelet

I’ve had a blue and currently have a black. To me, the black is just more dynamic. I feel that the blue just sort of washes itself out unless it’s in the sun. The black is gorgeous no matter what. In the end, I think you will be happy regardless of what color you go for. It’s a great watch, and in a strap it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever owned.

Yes. I've seen just the black up close and it looks really cool.
I've got a fondness for blue dials though.
