12 months ago I sense that white was more popular in the western world and in asia the black was more popular. I now sense this last couple of months that black is more popular everywhere.

Both look good. I went with white as I thought it was easier to read.

A few years ago I preferred the black dial. Now I definitely prefer the white dial.
