Which dial colour for Skydweller in steel?

Hi all,

Contemplating adding a Skydweller in steel to my collection. Comes in 4 dial colours and my preference is in such order....

1) Green
2) Blue
3) White
4) Black

I know preferences are very individual but just wondering what's the general views.

I prefer the black dial, which is sort of a sunburst black.

Blue (on Jubilee)
Black (on Oyster)

The white doesn't appeal so much to me in SS, I think it looks better on the TT and PM models. The green dial looks really nice to my eye but I prefer the blue and the green would be too close a match to make owning both realistic.

But that's just my view. You do you.

Basically any color but white to me. Blue is really nice but not sure it’s worth the extra wait. Black was my choice of the original colors but the new green dial is compelling.

My preference is white, then black, then blue and then green. The white is color neutral and I have so many black dial watches. With that said the black rocks.

Blue

-I bought Blue because I have too many Black or White dial watches.
-I bought on Oyster, as I think it enables the watch to be more flexible, casual but still able to dress up with the fluted bezel. (Note: I'm still debating whether Jubilee may be better in coordination with the fluted bezel, which would make this a bit more dressy vs casual).

All are really sharp looking, but the blue is a cut above in my opinion.
Jubilee is the way to go as well.

Which dial colour for Skydweller in steel?

I love green dials the most but with a SS SkyD, I think the blue looks best. The green still looks great but slight edge to the blue. And I’m green biased.

The black dial would be ranked 3rd for me and the white a very distant 4th. White dials tend to make the watch wear larger and the SkyD is already large enough.
