Thank you everyone for your posts and pics. It was very helpful in my Panda pick. Tokyo 2020 Panda ended up on top. Very beautiful piece. Like the Rising Sun, pics just don't do it justice. All though the price for a unworn one was steeper than the other four Tokyo's, I can definitely see why. The creamy white dial with black sub dials is a Iconic looking watch. This one is a keeper for me.
Congrats!
I think it’s perhaps a missed nuance that ( *I believe* ) these are not a “white dial” the same as “the other” white dial Speedmasters - this Tokyo 2020 is more pearlescent than flat white.

May I ask how/where yo got that 2 very special speedys?
This is correct, the term 'white' is used pretty freely on light colored Speedmaster dials. There are about four main dial 'colors' for these watches: 1) the dial for the Mitsukoshi, Apollo 11 35th,Tokyo 2020 and other LE dials (like the CK 2998's) are a pearly silver with a satin finish, often called opaline, 2) the 3593.20 (Albino) and the 3570.20 (with moonphase) have cream matte dials often described as cream, beige, ivory or ecru, 3) true white dials are on the Alaska Project and Snoopy 45th watches, and 4) the dial on the Tokyo 2020 Rising Sun is a unique one, it's a darker silver grey with a distinct sugary finish. All four are distinctly different in person although they look similar in pictures and are often called white or silver.
