First Rolex Watch: Milgauss, Black or White dial???!

[hrobi]

Hi rolexforum,

I've been absolutely torn on my first luxury watch purchase... I've narrowed it down to two options of one model - the Rolex Milgauss 116400 Black versus White dials.

I'm leaning towards the black at the moment, but I tried on the white today and it is very, very cool! I really like it, however my main concern is just in that, I want it to be an everyday watch... I work at a conservative-ish corporate office (none of the offices in Australia are too conservative compared to the US or UK however), so I feel that the fairly large orange indices is maybe not the most suitable watch for the office.

With considering an all-rounder, I've been asking myself "would I wear this watch to a job interview" and "would I wear it to the beach/hiking", and I want the answer to both questions to be yes - and I'm not too sure about the loud-ness of the white dial in a conservative setting.. but then again maybe I'm over thinking it.

It's interesting how different the two watches wear very differently for me... in the black dialed watch, I really like how the focus put on the lightning bolt seconds hand which really pops, and I think dial is amazing balanced with the subtle orange indices on the outer edges. The white however doesn't focus on the lightning bolt hand at all, I think your eyes are drawn very much to the bright orange indices. The white also wears a bit bigger than the black due to the high contrast dial and the numbers on the edges too I think...

So I'm leaning towards the black, what do you guys think?? (photos below of the watches on my wrist) I have a 6.5 inch wrist, so pretty small, however I do feel it sits quite well and comfortably.
