black for a one and only, being more versatile. White for a collection, being more sporty and possibly fun.
Also, if you have a smaller wrist, white appears to wear a little bigger IMO. That could be a factor. I'll never be a one and only type of watch guy so for me it's white. |

Would you mind sharing where you get the rubber strap and end links?

I’ve never had the desire to have both at the same time, I’d rather spend my funds on diverse models. I’m also pretty sure this one’s a keeper too. Don’t want a bigger one, or date, or new movement, very happy with this variation. |

Never seen either in the flesh, I think I'd have to see them on wrist to make a choice. Looks like can't go wrong w/ either, I ain't putting in a vote ;D

Since I have both I cannot vote. Both have their individual charm and style.

This is the look I hated and saw almost every time I looked down. Fratello image.

The black dial has stickers on the lugs. You can see the edges.

Thinking beyond the answer, ivory or sunburst rose. Why limit yourself to steel options?

Black obviously makes the watch look bigger. The dial blends in with the bezel. The white shows the contrast and the size of the dial.

So, among those who have both…
Which dial is the most legible for actually reading the time in low light? This is a big concern as I have had beautiful white or silver dialed watch with silver hands that became illegible in a darker room such as a restaurant.

The strap is OEM oysterflex. I sourced each piece separately via the TRF classifieds to get proper fit. The end links are smarty end links. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
