Icon5 DD40 White Gold Dial options?

Was hoping the few of you that have in your possession a White Gold DD40 could post some pics of it on the wrist?

Hoping to see the 3 dial options side by side, real world. I'm in a lock between silver stripe and black - Yin vs Yang 😳

As always, many thanks!

I can't because my WG with striped silver dial is with Rolex. But there are photos on this forum. The real problem is that you have to see these watches in natural light, for yourself. I changed my mind when I actually saw the options, which seemed different than in the photos.
The other issue, which I found at least as important, is what details do you want, Arabic numerals, stick hands, lume or non lume. It's a huge sum of money and you need to visit the store. A mistake would be expensive.
For the little it's worth, the nicest combination for my taste is white gold, silver stripes, stick hands (with lume). But then that is the combination I bought, doesn't photograph as well as it looks in real life, with natural light.
But you have to visit the store....your taste, your money.

3? I think there are 8 dials (including the 60th anniversary green from Basel 2016).

There are 2 striped and 1 black which I am interested in seeing. And yes, there are several others - Roman silver or blue or anniversary green.

I totally agree and my preference as well is silver stripe with stick. The lume is a must imo. None of the local ADs here have the rhodium or black in stock and I'm not sure how long it will take for them to order these versions solely so I can use them as a comparison. I'm set on the combo you went with - good choice 👍.

Before I head out tomorrow I wanted to see if any posts would sway my decision another way. It's a sadistic game I like to play before a new purchase. Testing my resolve I suppose. 😉

Thanks for the feedback.
