There's a thread here on Omega Forums dedicated to blue dial watches, but not one for white dials as far as I know. So, I thought that I might start one and see what's out there. Are they mostly dress watches? Divers? Chronos? Let's see them!

This was a Fathers Day gift from my wife and kids. Seiko 5 Sports Peanuts Limited Edition ref SRPK27 on an aftermarket brown leather strap. Normally, I tend to go for blue or black dials, but I've found this watch to be a refreshing change and I love it.

Only a couple but I particularly like this unusual silver cased Tobias with a pin set movement 😀

Thanks for everyone's posts so far. Keep 'em coming.
I'm surprised that no one has posted a JLC Reverso or Cartier Santos so far. Aren't they are supposed to be pretty popular right now?

Most 'white' dial Reversos are actually silver. But I'll play....here is my Reverso with silver guilloche dial. I'm shocked at the current prices for this watch today.....$22,700 w/tang buckle in the US. I paid a whole lot less than that back in 1992 with a gold deployant buckle AND my initials engraved and lacquered in Art Deco fashion at the factory. Inflation, they say.

I'm not a great fan of white dials, but for every rule there has to be an exception. And for me, it's that old Genta-inspired Seiko that I inherited from my dad.

That's a nice watch. Thanks for sharing. With regards to the price rises, I imagine it's the same with stainless steel Rolex sports watches. They would have cost a lot less back in the 1990s, but used prices have at least tripled in the last 5-6 years.

Maybe, but JLC popularity is nothing like Rolex's, they fly under the radar for the most part. A basic Atmos clock is now $11,100! The last time I looked at them less than a year ago I swear they were less than $8,000. JLC has really racked their prices higher in the recent past. Business must be good.
