·Today, the wife and I were in Stanford, so I decided to do a little investigating the Oyster Perpetual in the white dial. They did not have a 114300 in that color, but they did have the 116000.
I almost instantly feel in love. The white that has been described as "eggshell" is truly amazing! It has a softer glow to it than a pure white, and... I really can't describe why it is so much more appealing than the traditional white, it just IS!
The only gotcha is the 36mm case... or more appropriately, the size of the dial that results using a 36mm case. With the smallest watch in my collection being a 39mm, the dial on the 116000 takes on a much smaller appearance than I'm used to. That's funny because, lug to lug, the 36mm is a PERFECT FIT!
I guess it's something I have to rue over for a couple days. I tried on the grape dialed 114300 for a sense of scale, and that one was the inverse - perfect dial size, slightly largish case.
