TT? I'd have to say white. For all gold, I'd go with black.

I'll second that - for TT, white for sure. Great watch, BTW. Good luck with it, if you snag it.

To respond to the choices you have provided, I'd have to go with MOP. However, this is obviously MY choice:

I will have to go with white. I tried one on yesterday and it was tempting. The question is to go with the diamonds or not.

I'll be the first to vote for slate - it goes beautifully with the gold!

Can I ask, what does a TT Dayton w/ Zenith El Primero movement usually fetch?

18k Gold & Stainless Steel, Heavy Oyster bracelet with flip-lock, champagne dial with 8 diamond markers, automatic Chronometer (Rolex 4030, (Base Zenith El Primero 400)),

^ specifically, that watch.

Yes. Please look at the photo of my TT Zenith El Primero posted earlier in this thread (post #4). I paid about $7,500US for it a year ago. Can't touch it for less than that in pristine condition, and probably a lot more.

Hard choice, I would select the white dial because most of my watches have black dials.
