I voted for the blue dial.. but really thinking about it, probably a tie with white dial with black subs. In general I love the blue dial ROCs but not as much of a fan of the silver sub dials. All are nice but none would be my first choice. BTW i do own the pride of italy and a black dial red accent ROO chrono

Exactly the same here, I'd take any happily, wish Rolex would issue a bunch of SS options like this on the D500.

My vote is blue, though that's the only one I haven't seen in person. Saw the black and the white in the metal tonight and preferred the black dial with the white subs (and yet, the white dial 15400 over the black and grey dial variants)

Only me prefer che black dial? Seems more deep more resolved and consistent
True that the sub dials looks like light in the night...they pop up in a way that is a bit strong

The blue have less contrast but in a negative way

@kutime, I wonder if you would be interested in making a video review of your Panda ROC? I would certainly be interested in seeing that! And similarly if those with the black and blue dial new ROC configurations are also inclined to do so! :)

not even close, blue of course, like all Genta watch designs were supposed to be, even if it is not the original design and has been modernized

The white with black subdials would be my choice - it really pops in comparison

I think the votes between the 3 colors are pretty even. I eliminated the blue with the same reason you mentioned about the contrast, and I really had a hard time deciding between the white and the black. I finally decided on the white dial because I have a Rolex Batman and getting the DS43 soon and they both have black dials. Your black dial looks awesome, wish I can have both...Lol

Tough call. I vote blue although i think the black would be more versatile as a daily piece.

51/49 blue vs white for me....I will amost always choose blue for an RO, but, the sub-dials and chapter ring of the white look really, really good, too.
