The white dial stands out for me always. For a sky dweller i will always pick a white over a blue.

Can’t go wrong either way.
For me though, the black dial would be my choice after seeing it first hand.

How often are you going to wear it? I’d choose white if it was going to be worn often, blue if only breaking it out occasionally.

Love the white. It almost looks ivory/porcelain like in person. Very classy compared to blue.

I was offered the white twice before I got the blue but on my 6'75 wrist I could not pull it off. The blue is pushing the limits of what I can pull off. If you're 7'25 or over the white is stunning, but wears large.

Sky-Dweller Blue or White ?
I have one with a white dial and one with blue.

I would go for a white dial in SS

Just to muddle things up. I purchased a blue dial on oyster a month ago--totally unexpected. Incredible color--so happy with the Sky-Dweller in that configuration. But I was prepared and excited about getting a SD with a white dial on oyster. Something different. So would be equally happy with either color. Oyster bracelet was a must have for me as I have two GMTs on jubilee. Good luck!

I'm waiting for a white but that's because I have blue black and grey dials covered in my collection

If I had to rank the SkyD dials for me personally it'd be Black>White>Blue

One million percent, blue. Once you have seen the blue, you will realise how amazing it is!

Having said that, I've never met a Sky Dweller I didn't love on sight.
I have the blue, and my buddy has the white. He found mine to be much more legible at a glance due to the depth of color difference. I also prefer this blue dial with these colors on SS steal, whereas the white on a Polar Explorer to me is awesome!

Unsurprisingly, the survey mirrored the market. The blue really pops.
