White looks nicer but silver looks more exciting due to the sunburst dial. Either is a great choice

There's silver, and then there's rhodium. I would keep that one, but if you're interested, maybe we can work out a deal?

What's the difference? Does it relate to the dial color or texture?

Rhodium is actually more 'silvery', is conveys a monochromatic appearance. Silver can refract and reflect light differently, can appear lighter or darker, depending on conditions. Rhodium appears more consistent, does not vary as much under different lighting conditions. At least that has been my experience. And in person, rhodium has a luster unlike other dials.

Thanks for clarification. I agree, the silver can look different in certain light. Will have to check out rhodium in person next time at the AD. Sounds like a good dial color.

Silver. IMO white on this is a little to "plain" or "basic"

White. I like silver, but i dont like the fact that the date wheel is white and you have this contrast between dial and wheel.

The watch you have, date just on oyster, will be my next watch .... Need to safe the funds firts.

White dial. It gives the watch a touch of contrast, and a lot of class!

Not keen on white sticks. Prefer the white roman.

Personally I would keep what you have, save cash and hassle of the swap. It's a great looking watch.

Actually can't tell if the one you have is white or silver dial?

Silver stick for that watch - the white 'pops' too much if that makes sense.

Why are you selling the 116200?

This is one of my favorites of the datejust line that is currently produced. I don't have this because I already have another datejust.
