White- you can see the depth and details better then black and blue
Also consider this, there are not many good looking white dials, yes I maybe stirring some peoples opinions BUT there are many more good looking black dial watches. I would rather do a black or blue dial on another watch |

Put in the order for a 15202st blue dial, it might pop up before you know it. I wouldn't get either the black or white dial if that isn't the watch you want to keep in the end.. have you considered a diver instead of a 15400?

I own both black and white dialed Royal Oaks, but the white one seems to always get more wrist time.

Is it a 15450 you are wearing there? Looks beautiful.

Blue is my first choice and then I would select black vs white depending on what else you own. I like both the white and black dials so if i had more of a need for light vs dark-- and base my decision that way

I prefer the white, but legibility isn't the best.

In the process of ordering the 41mm. Can’t decide on white or black. No boutiques in Canada so blue is out of the question. Saw the white a few weeks ago but was not very easy to read. Perhaps it was the bright lights at the AD. Just wanted to hear from others about the differences that they’ve experienced.

Black dial. I have seen both, and for me it is not close, black by a mile. but to each his own. Also some people complain that the 15400 is big on the wrist, having it on black dial makes a huge difference on how it will look on your wrist. it will look much smaller

If you don’t mind waiting for one or you can pay a nice premium in the grey market.

Having briefly owned the blue and having seen the white ......
..............in person: the white stands out for me.
And this is coming from someone who loves all things blue. |

Personally I prefer the white. But it also depends on what other dial colors you have in your collection.

If blue is out of the question, then I slightly prefer the black over the white

It would depend on which RO model. I.e. 15300 the black looks better than the white.
For the 15400, the silver/white looks better than the black in my opinion. Pure aesthetics. For RO I like the blingy look of the silver vs. the dullness of the black (at certain angles and lighting). |

I'm looking at the 15400. On a side note, does the AD usually charge for a link?

Consider mixing the two and going for the gray dial. It is stunning.

I agree on that ruthenium dial! For me, it is between that and the silver. I also found the ruthenium seems to wear smaller than the silver, which for me is a plus. Maybe because there isn't as much contrast between the dial and the case as there is on the silver.

My wrist is 7", and I find that 37mm is too small for me. But that does not mean you or someone else will consider it small. Best is to try the two sizes on, even if it's not the exact same model you are considering buying. |
