black or white diver to join silver 15400?

should i go for a black diver to contrast my existing 15400 or a white to have a theme?

the white diver seems more available in the ADs, although i dont necessarily want that to drive the decision.

thoughts welcome!

Classic black is the way to go with the Diver. Better paired with the silver 15400 too.

I much prefer black dials. Which leads me to question my choice of white on my 116500 order. May need to think this through over a few brews

The black diver is a classic.

dude that is a stunning piece - congrats!

first google result for me on that piece was a watchfinder listing.
which has an ask of £14,950 over a RETAIL PRICE of £8,250

insane markups!

Go for black my friend, it will compliment your silver 15400 nicely!

Don't congratulate me yet! I don't have it

Slower rollout in Canada I'm afraid. I'm American but my AD is Canadian

I've grown to like the white diver but black diver is the way to go. Hope to add it to my collection as well.

Given same choice, I went for black Diver and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks all for the great pics and votes. Black dial by a landslide it seems!

Local ADs are telling me months on the wait list for the black diver 😭. Gotta cast the net a bit wider but In any case there's only a handful of AP Stockists in uk as it is so probably same story everywhere.

Since you already have a silver dial 15400, I'd get the black diver.

The white diver is very nice but I think the black is nicer, I would optimally go for the ceramic or FC but if to choose SS then black with display back, in any case all the divers are really cool watches whichever you choose
