hey everyone! celebrated this lucky day by acquiring a special watch for my dad. Asians are weird about the number 8. Its a symbol of wealth and prosperity, so its very special to have 08/08/08 purchased watch. The black one is for him.

anyways, i wanted to post a side by side photo since I don't think it has been done yet. so you be the judge. which is your favorite?

Both are "M" series from my AD.

topcat30093 · 9 August 2008, 03:10 PM

Black for me.
I think that the white dial is just too white - if that makes sense!

i totally respect that bud! different strokes for different folks. thats why we have options!

im a white dial person myself!

Wolfgang427 · 9 August 2008, 03:23 PM

For me the black one.

The combo of black with a hint of orange on the hour indices makes one fine looking watch.

Z-Sub · 9 August 2008, 03:31 PM

I'll pick the black dial first.

Good Luck! Fa-Fa-Fa

oworkman · 9 August 2008, 03:33 PM

White for me, soon I will have it!!

Felly Jr. · 9 August 2008, 03:37 PM

I pick the white because of the beautiful blue lume.

joey m · 9 August 2008, 03:38 PM

Black is beautiful!

What a nice, simple, elegant look.

Of course white is nice also, but take a look at that second photo, of the watches in their cases. The black piece really steals the show, IMO.

SLS · 9 August 2008, 03:47 PM

I prefer the black dial as well, but both look great IMO.

ashu2289 · 9 August 2008, 05:14 PM

white for me all the way

taylor · 9 August 2008, 05:16 PM

I like the white dial better. But both are very nice.

Andad · 9 August 2008, 05:18 PM

I like the white dial best. (GV excepted).

harvey · 9 August 2008, 08:42 PM

my brother and i have similar tastes in almost everything... however this is where we differ... he prefers the black and i prefer the white.

toph · 9 August 2008, 08:45 PM

NO!! whats wrong with you all!!

the white is still nicer IMHO

pwrslider · 9 August 2008, 08:48 PM

White dials always have the better lume......why is that?? The ExpyII polar lume kicks butt on the Noir!

But still.........I like the black !

Irish Dan · 9 August 2008, 09:02 PM

That orange lightning hand seems to jump out more on the black.

the186element · 9 August 2008, 09:15 PM

Very nice.And you never see these time pieces together.
White face for me.In my area this models are never in anyshow cases.

mickeydainish · 9 August 2008, 09:17 PM

Black for me... very nice!! :-)

f16570 · 9 August 2008, 09:19 PM

White for me.

JF23 · 9 August 2008, 10:12 PM

I like the black dial

Trurolexer · 9 August 2008, 11:24 PM

I love BOTH!!!

But...If I must choose one between 'em, BLACK is the winner.

Chris B · 9 August 2008, 11:43 PM

Both are beautiful, but I'd choose the black

N_Swe · 10 August 2008, 01:25 AM

I have to say black

MikeV · 10 August 2008, 03:16 AM

Initially I like the black, but when I look at it more, I would choose the white because the dial markers stands out more (i like orange), the lume is blue, and it has numerical notations on the dial. When I see them in person I may change my mind though

yallr · 10 August 2008, 03:45 AM

Black on even days. White on odd days.

Nice pics

casadecamporolex · 10 August 2008, 03:47 AM

Seems like I have a fancy for black dials.
Anyway, here's my two cents.

baseballduck · 10 August 2008, 04:06 AM

I had to go with the black.

Dalton · 10 August 2008, 04:13 AM

i take my Milgauss black, with no sugar please.

Perdu · 10 August 2008, 04:48 AM

Your Dad is a lucky guy. I like the black.

boa2 · 10 August 2008, 04:54 AM

I prefer the black dial in photos, but the white dial on my wrist.
