Two tone Sky-Dweller - White or Black dail

For two tone (Oystersteel and yellow gold) Sky-Dweller, will you prefer Black or White dail?

Both are classic. White if I had a few other black dials in the collection.

Personally not a fan of TT for the SkyD, but I’d choose black over white.

Is champagne even an option? If the white was a true white, that would be my choice, but it really isn’t. Same with the black. I think both the white and black dials, in the case of the SkyD, lend themselves to the stainless versions a little better. They just look off in the TT version.

Agree with you.

Champagne/yellow gold is an option and is the TT I’d go for. I think the black and white dials in TT just have too much happening to be comfortable with.

The white dial is cream coloured but it’s pearlescent so more often looks silvery. Black is sunburst and similarly shiny. As you say, both suit steel better.

White without a doubt. Beautiful egg shell texture that complements the gold and stainless

A Jubilee bracelet is on order. I think this will suit it better.

IIRC my AD quoted around £3.2K. I don't have a lead time. I will post more specific details when I hear anything.

Between these two, I'd go with white dial.
