·I don't post here much but every time I have, always good good advice so here goes.
I got the call today from my AD for a white dial Speedy. I've lusted after one since it first came out. I've never owned a "moonwatch" although I do have a sandwich dial Speedster 57 ( I like , not love this). One of my reasons for looking at a "moonwatch" is legibility- I find the dial of the 57 occasionally a bit difficult to see without my glasses.
So I went in all excitedly , all set to buy the white dial. But although the white dial is stunning, it didn't grab me in the way I thought it would . I also tried on a black dial sapphire crystal- damn if I didn't find that one more legible both with glasses on and off.
I know there's a huge amount of hype about the white dial, and more knowledgable types than me have bought the white and rave about it. But, I bought the black dial.
I only have to please myself here, but is this a decision I will regret ?Part of my thinking is that the black dial has been around for ever for a reason- classic design, minimal changes needed . I was also just thinking that the white dial is the new kid on the block; I was thinking about waiting a year or so and seeing what people long term view of it was. I still want a white dial in the collection at some stage. Thoughts? Am I just being a bit stupid here? Thank you in advance for any comments. Cheers.
