I lovingly refer to mine as Snow White...if she were a woman I'd bite her on the neck.

White is the best

I think the white looks both sporty and dressy at the same time.
I just purchased one. I didn't think twice about the white...

white dial~!!
its almost black and white without the red 24hr hand.
too many black dial watches so white is definitely cool.

I went with this one, since I already have about 15 Black dial sport watches


I also like the fact this one flies under the radar and doesn't get noticed very much.

don;t like the white against the steel, so i have the black.
for all the talk i have seen about the X2, no one has pointed out that it has a similarity to the daytona, a slimmed down one, but the same brushed bezel, some incriptions on it, just without the three extra interior dials and stems. but there is an affinity, right?

Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to vote and post comments/lovely pics

I will be looking at some "V" serial black and white dials over the next week or so... I shall post a new thread when the big decision is made...


Cheers
