Any suggestions for a white dial?

Guys, I'm shopping around for a white dial to balance out my rotation of black faces. I'm looking into Rolex, Pam, UN, etc......
I would like to stay with 40-42MM if possible. I'm not crazy about the 44M or larger since it looks like its wearing me.

Any suggestions?

If you are looking for a white dial watch, the only way to go is with the new IWC Aquatimer 2000. You can buy one on a bracelet and it comes with a rubber strap option. IWC developed this fantastic quick strap changing system that will the the push of your thumb, will release the bracelet, it is genius. If only Rolex would wake up and offer options like this, it truly makes for a great diver. They wear a little smaller on the wrist, but I do believe it is 44mm.

Trevor, I'm liking it! The ease of replacing the bracelet is brilliant. I'm just concerned about the 44M. It doesn't look like it has the Pam-case size?

The new IWC Aquatimers are attractive but they're really big - and thick. On par with a DSSD.

I think the white Milgauss is very happening. The orange sticks with jet-black surrounds look great against the white dial.

My favourite white dial Rolex would be the much under-rated ToG.

Rolex expl.2 or how about the "baby" Panerai Luminor Marina....@ 40mm it still has that beefy look, but w/ a shorter case length that IMHO looks more balanced on a smaller wrist.

DJ II, Expy II, IWC Aquatimer, Pam 113,114,49,51, SS Daytona, IWC Portuguese Chrono, IWC Portuguese 7day.

All stunners IMHO.

I'd go for a white Milgauss - I love its looks, the orange contrasts nicely, and it's the one model in the line up that I feel has the potential to be a future collector's item
