I prefer black dials, but deliberately chose a couple of white dials for variety.

I don't know, actually.

I guess I'm partial to black.

Sunburst green, because it's an amazing dial that's also amazingly versatile.

For me, it's all about readability. White is generally easiest for me to read given the models I have. Plus in the Rolex arena, it's not very common, I guess.

Depends on the watch.
Sport = most likely black
Dress = most likely white/champagne

Really depends on he watch and simply what's singing to me. After that I just try to have variety. I'd love to add some chocolate to this group!

I prefer neutral dial colors, which include black, white, and silver. Silver and white dials are generally my favorites, in that order, but it varies with the watch.

depending on the watch model.

I prefer white dials on most of my watches but for exampled wanted a champagne dial for my DD. Got a white dial for my DJII. Have a black dial Panerai. And if i ever get an AP it will be a Blue dial. So it just matters the watch in my case.

More and more, I'm gravitating toward the sunburst dials.
