My first ROC was a silver dial and it’s incredible. I have not seen a grey in person but I have tried on a black. The black is a very traditional dial color so I really like the less common, silver - the way the light hits it is also truly amazing. I also love the blue too even if you didn’t ask.

Do you really not have a preference? Buy what you like. All great choices

I like the gray from the pictures ,but I haven’t seen the any of them, the 2nd favorite is black and the least favorite is white but again these watches in person are different story. I’ve heard the black contrast with the bracelet is nice and make the watch looks smaller so I am between choosing black or gray

Fair point.

Silver is flashy and very dynamic, and makes the dial look bigger. Looks like you’ve ruled it out anyway

Grey is likewise dynamic, to a lesser degree, and looks great under various forms of light.

Black is nice, and as you’ve said it places more attention on the bracelet.

Watch some YouTube videos, both professional and amateur shots. This will give you a well rounded taste.

Silver, grey, black.
That’s how I would rank them.

I have silver and green dials, and have compared silver next to blue.
Like others have mentioned, silver is very dynamic and there is nothing like it when the light hits it.

I personally love the black dial, followed by white then gray. The white dial is really beautiful the way it interacts with light.

White/silver, if I had a choice. Then gray. No black. Also would depend on dial colors in the current collection. GL!

Grey would've been my first choice of the three, but black is also a great dial color. You really can't go wrong. Congrats!

If I had a choice, it would have been white, then grey, then black. It’s all depends on your existing collection. Congrats and please post a wrist shot.

White. It’s special, plays with the light. I think blue is probably my favorite overall but white is a close second and both are above all the other colors including the new khaki everyone loves.

My wife said the same thing and I ended up with a grey dial! Lol

Grey or black for me. Probably black for my first AP. I have blue and would now like to add grey.

Congrats, you really can't go wrong with any single of of the colors!

My personal fave (since I have it) is the white dial - depending on the sun it looks anything between pure white to silver to pearl... I really cant believe it's supposed to be the "cheapest" but I guess it's due to the fact that pics don't do it justice (same with green)
