Hi guys, looking to grab a white dial sports daily wear.
Looking between 2 watches but open to suggestions.

Iwc aquatimer 329004. Its more silver dial from what I've read but looks white, haven't seen it in person.

Omega great white, white dial and a gmt.

I would grab a explorer2 polo pr but I already have it in black. So if I go great white I will have another gmt but in a white dial vs aquatimer that has a sleeker bezel.

What you guys think?

Pix?

FTX I · 30 March 2018, 10:16 AM

Great white gets my vote.

ejvette · 30 March 2018, 10:24 AM

Definitely white

PJ S · 30 March 2018, 10:29 AM

Guessing at what you’re budgeting for, I’d go for a different IWC.
Both Ingenieurs, the 323904 (not the 6, the RG hands look woeful on it) or the 323402

Otherwise, my preferred rotating bezel options would be the:
Chopad L.U.C. Pro One
Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk II
Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver – no-one does lume better!

If the Ingenieur’s integrated bracelet wasn’t something you liked, but it doesn’t have to have a rotating bezel, then I’d look at the Cartier Calibre De Cartier or this G-P Chronograph – okay, it’s not exactly white… but that central minutes counter!

Generally a fan of Aquatimers, but I prefer the last 3568 generation with the external sapphire bezel to the new "hump-cased" models...though with the old ones you get an ETA rather than in-house movement...
All that aside they are super rugged, quality pieces.

the regular white>

IWC hands down. I have never considered the white though but i really like the blue and black dials.

RazorD · 30 March 2018, 07:42 PM

Both nice, but for me, Omega gets the nod.

1William · 30 March 2018, 09:56 PM

I prefer the Omega.

nick c · 30 March 2018, 09:58 PM

I’ll go with Iwc cheers

scarlet knight · 30 March 2018, 11:28 PM

White IWC Aquatimer gets my vote.

These are ones I had my eyes on...

Faustomiami · 31 March 2018, 11:56 AM

Or iwc...

Watcheroo · 31 March 2018, 05:54 PM

I’d go IWC between those two

Andad · 31 March 2018, 06:36 PM

An AD in Oz (IWC & Omega) recommended Omega stating IWC service is a nightmare.

As for looks they are both very nice.

I prefer the Omega hands.

Pmt2 · 31 March 2018, 08:41 PM

IWC all the way.

ap1 · 31 March 2018, 09:04 PM

Old version iwc

Justindo · 1 April 2018, 02:21 AM

I like the Omega better.

DCheeta · 3 April 2018, 05:22 AM

Since you're open to suggestions, have you checked out the white Sinn 104? Very cool piece.

IWC for me. The crown guard and bracelet appear a bit dated, for my eyes, with the Omega. The version Megan shared appears fresher, but almost feels like homage to the explorer ii.

asiparks · 4 April 2018, 05:30 PM

well, if we're including Sinn, the U1 is about as bulletproof as a watch can get...

That said, the white version is not massively attractive....and getting less so the more I look at it....

lets forget I ever mentioned it...

IWC FTW

dnpina · 5 April 2018, 07:48 AM

IWC.

Panerai white dial looks nice too.. anyone chime in that owns it?

Watch Admirer · 8 April 2018, 05:46 PM

First choice is Rolex Explorer II Polar.
Second choice is the Omega Megan posted.

1William · 8 April 2018, 10:16 PM

I like the Omega. For the price it is hard to beat.
