116718 Green dial or black dial

I know i have asked this question before. I have owned the 718 black dial for a few months. I have been seeing some green dials pop up lately. Can you enablers post some wrist shots in different lighting. I want to see which one looks better the green or black.

I think the green looks better, but I like it different. Don't own one yet

I prefer the green. It looks good against the yellow. It's the next watch on my wish list.

I prefer the black, but the green is quite unique and looks great as well.

I already have the 116610LV and so the Black dial 116718 was the best choice for me.
Impossible to go wrong with either IMHO
Good luck

kilyung. Nice Watch! You can't go wrong with black thats for sure, but for some reason I like the boldness of having colored dials.

Depends on the rest of your collection. If you already have a couple of black dial watches why not go green for something different

Green dial!

All of these enablers are tempting me as well. Great pics, guys.

I vote black, as I think I would grow tired of the green dial.

You pick either dial and you will be happy. No "wrong" choice here. I went with black mainly because I prefer the better contrast of the green 24hr hand against black. I would be just as happy had I gone with the green dial. Ken's and thsiao's green 718s are gorgeous.
