Hi all,

here are some comparison photos of the WG sky-dwellers. The "polar" one (white dial) is mine and the "panda" (black dial/white ring) is AD's ... at least for now ;-)

Polar on bracelet is just perfect.

GermanyMatt · 11 September 2014, 04:59 AM

I agree. I like it better than the black face. The red arrow really pops on that creamy dial.

Wolfgang427 · 11 September 2014, 05:11 AM

I like the black one better, the white one is nice but I just never liked the mixture of Roman and Arabic Numbers on the same dial.....

I'd have to agree -- gorgeous.

I prefer the white polar dial and this watch needs the bracelet imho as the fluted bezel becomes pretty overpowering without it.

kilyung · 11 September 2014, 05:52 AM

I actually like the Arabic numeral model. Matches the inner ring. Just wish it was on bracelet.

bobernet · 11 September 2014, 05:54 AM

Gotta be on a bracelet.

brandrea · 11 September 2014, 05:56 AM

The black is more readable IMO

00pumpkin · 11 September 2014, 06:13 AM

Black face

tkerrmd · 11 September 2014, 06:26 AM

beautiful watches, I would go for the black if it came on a bracelet

Based on personal experience, Roman/Arabic mixture doesn't look too bad in real life. The Roman numerals are most dominant on the dial ... with larger and thicker metallic fonts. The Arabic numerals are much smaller and thinner and don't create much conflict.

I also had this concern before purchasing the watch. I agree that the Roman/Arabic mixture doesn't look good in magnified internet pictures ... but when I examined the watch in person it was a non-issue,

Any RG bracelet shots?

Rolex offers the option to put the black dial on the WG bracelet (326939) version if you buy via boutique.

landroverking · 11 September 2014, 11:23 AM

Not sure a out the panda handle. Doesn't really apply IMO.
