White watch

I'm kinda interested in buying a white watch, unfortunately no shops near me has any and I find it hard to judge how it would look on me by looking at pictures online.

So what do you guys think of a white watch for a guy?

The one that has caught my attention so far is this one:

What do you guys think about it?

Any other suggestions for a white watch?

A full white ceramic watch for a guy? No.

Take a look at the Daytona or white dial Explorer II, those are known for creating a "polar" illusion.

Those are a bit expensive for my budget. Was thinking about something around $500-700.

Look at a used Omega GMT with the all SS bezel. They aren't made anymore but are easily obtainable on a used market.
