15300ST dial pictures please...

Hi,

I decided to buy a 15300ST, but I'm not sure yet about the dial color.

The black dial was my initial choice but I fear it might be too dark, also because it's matte.

The silver/white dial was my least favorite dial because white is too dull imo, but after seeing some pictures in which the silver comes out a bit, I'm hesitating. In general I have the feeling that a white dial is more feminine? (sorry, certainly don't want to insult anybody but I have this impression).

The blue dial is maybe the best 'compromise'. It seems a very dark blue, but not sure how it looks in different light conditions.

A long story to ask you to post some picture of your 15300ST (or similar) with dials in real life light conditions, ie not the catologue or website picture of AP...
I hope this will give me a good idea about how a specific dial will look on my wrist.

Thanks in advance!!

On the 400 the silver/white is very dynamic and the most interesting dial imho. Try it on at the ADs you will be quite surprised.

They are all beautiful but the white is the one that sang the most to me

Luckily I don't have this problem - Blue is my thing, now I have another problem which is $$.. Wish I had your problem though!

Isn't 15300ST discontinued and is harder to get now? I am thinking of getting the exact one
