Hi guys,

went to AP House in London recently (beautiful store) to try on some APs for size, unfortunately and expectedly they didn't have the 15450st in anything but a jewelled gold number. It confirmed the best fit for me (6.25" wrist) but made it no easier for me to select a colour.

I usually go for black dials on sports watches but it's not possible with this model, so I'm trying to decide between the blue and grey.

I feel like the blue has a more vibrant colour which changes with lighting, and contrasts to the lettering on the dial more. However, I usually find a grey dial fits with most outfits better, being a more neutral colour.

I would say this would be for a mixture of use, both casual and formal occasions for now.

Any opinions on the most 'versatile' dial version, or any grey dial owners wishing to sing it's praises?

Normally I like blue or black dials but for the Royal Oak I prefer grey (or silver where available). The Genta design is very mechanical/industrial and I believe a grey dial fits it best.

I saw all colors in person before, they all look gorgeous.

Blue is always the most popular dial, you will be surprised that how gorgeous the white/silver dial is when you see person.
