Steve,

I think they missed the trick, a white face with a blue crystal would have been sexier than a nekkid Jessica Alba with a ice cold beer in one hand and a plate of steak quesadillas in the other, dancing to Barry White's I'm gonna love you just a little bit more baby!

Well hell yeah! That's not a bad idea, a blue tint, I wonder given Rolex has the technology if they will in the future release more models with different tint crystals
Knowing Rolex, I will not hold my breath.

Good point, green on the white dial does show up more than green on the black dial

A white GV would be absolutely amazing. That's a novel idea, hope someone at Rolex is reading this.

The GV should have been a white dialed model anyway.

The contrast between the two is much more noticeable than the green cast on black.

If you buy both watches and swamp the crystals. Depends on your money.

I mean people used to pay 15k for a GV and now they are getting easier to get. If you buy a GV and a white Mil, pay a jeweler a couple hundred to swap the crystals, sell the now normal black mil, it's do-able?

Black dial w/no Green Crystal, yes that's an option.

Black & White dials are easy to get at US AD's
