silver and white dial is the most legible....I'd go with either one, champagne screams too much gold for me, personally

White's better than champagne, but what of the silver dial?...

I had no idea the white dial was so popular! That’s the one I’d pick as well.

Silver romans. Sunburst silver takes on many colors!

Beautiful watches. But I have to say, I like the sliver better.

I agree.
I would go with either YG and silver dial, or WG and olive green dial.
YG and champagne dial is just ok “mafia” feeling to me.

Icon5 DD 40 - white, Champagne, or silver
Champagne w/ Diamond Baguettes was my choice.

Silver for me, but I'm biased too because I bought it few weeks back. The sunburst is simply beautiful.

The lacquered white is a good choice and I like the legibility.
