Black or white dial for RO 15300?

This watch has become a kind of grail for me. I have tried on the white dial and loved it, but have not seen the black dial in the flesh.

Which is nicest?

Pictures are welcome!

Tough choice, but leaning to the White one.

I am in the same boat! Leaning toward the white, but also like the blue (more like the original RO), with the black running at the back of the pack (today anyway)

Bottom line... I can't help you!

I have blue, and love it. However, my second choice would be black---its VERY nice with the stainless steel, and really focuses on the sports aspect of the Royal Oak design. The white dial is beautiful but too dressy for my taste.

In 18K rose gold, the 15300 is at its best with the white dial, rather than the black...as this is a more formal version of the model.

YMMV, of course!

Some excellent pictures here, guys! I`m leaning towards white myself atm. I`m not sure if white is more dressy than black..

I like the white. I've only seen a black one a few times though. White and blue seem to be more common. They are all very rare though.
