Which one is the best color?
I am seeking a piece of advice on dial color as I've never had an experience with AP before. I decided to get 15450st for my first AP, but cannot choose the color as I've never seen them in person before.
I never wear a suit to work. I work in a very casual environment. I am leaning toward the white dial as I think it has both worlds - causal and classic. But cannot decide as I think it might feel too dressy from the pictures I've seen on forums. Could you guys give a recommendation on the dial color? White / Gray / Blue? |

I always wear just t shirts and jeans or something similar, never suits or anything dressy. I went with the grey one and couldn’t be happier with it, have worn it every day since I got it nearly a year ago!

My favorite has always been the white dial but I'm curious, what color dial is your Daytona and Sub?

My heart says grey. My brain says blue.

As you have an Aquanaut I'd avoid grey, I'd go blue, unless you have a 5711 or something similar in blue.

I personally prefer the white! I think it "pops" more and is more versatile.

I like them all but went with Blue. Had the 15400 in white (too big). I did like the white dial though

Whichever one you prefer. What we prefer is not really relevant to your decision to purchase

so tired of blue dial, so overdone. I would go ruthenium , is fresh and versatile.
White dial is cool , but not as unique as the ruthenium But you have to like it, and I will say this also; what you have on your collection is a factor in the color decision...absolutely but never important enough to overrule a strong preference for the watch itself my 2 cts

White dial is not dressy as I wore it with t shirts and jeans no problem.
I'd get the blue dial just because you seem to be missing a splash of blue on your collection imo. White is great, but blue is really unique. |

I find white to be very versatile. Plus it makes the watch wear bigger since it is a smaller dial. Very few watches look good with white dial IMO so this was a no-brainer to add to my collection of mostly dark dials

If you don't already own an AP RO in blue, it should be the blue.

For casual outfit:
1. Grey 2. Blue Grey will fit all pairings. Blue, makes it harder to wear green/olive tones with your watch. |

I would go white for your needs, with grey as the second.
