I like the black one best

The simplicity of the black & white is what puts it over the edge for me.

mimo5000 · 4 March 2015, 05:41 AM

Black has a devilish look about it.
That's a compliment btw.

kwang · 4 March 2015, 05:44 AM

what about your current collection right now?

I have a lot of black dial watch, so I would gravitate toward the other colors.

JorgeCCW · 4 March 2015, 05:44 AM

I had the Grey one, its a nice watch. But if price is not an issue go Black, not because is more scare but because the chrono subdial is the same color as the dial. That's the only reason.
good luck

The blue one is stunning. That'd be my choice. Then again, I have a soft spot for blue dials.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I had the opportunity to view the black dial yesterday. It's a beautiful timepiece, no doubt. I'm not sure if it was the room lighting (white florescent) however the dial didn't seem to pop. I was hoping to see the deep black come out. I took several photos and this shot seem to be the closest. The black is also seems to be very dressy and very appropriate to say a black tie event. Unfortunately, I'm more of a casual dress down type of a guy.

In my collection, I do have a number of black dials (Rolex Subs/Seadwellers/GMTs & Panerai), a 5711 blue dial and AP 15202, silver dial JLC.

Just out of curiosity, for those that had once owned one or more of this reference, what was the reasoning why you had flipped or sold it?

TIA

I own the gray.

For me, I like it because it wears well with jeans or a jacket.

WatchTimes · 5 March 2015, 05:45 AM

Black is more subtle, gray is a little bit sporty...
I love them both but if I was lucky enough to have one at this point Id go with the gray.
Really all depends on what else you have in the collection, you can't go wrong with any of the three...

el1125 · 5 March 2015, 07:42 AM

For me blue or grey. Black did nothing for me.

conkers · 5 March 2015, 10:09 AM

I sold my whole PP collection over the course of a couple of weeks, I didn't single out the 5960P black for sale, in fact I wore it more than many of the others. Only small complaint was that I didn't like the round pushers, but that is nothing to do with the black dial.

stradman · 5 March 2015, 05:36 PM

Personally, I'm a sucker for blue dials. I think they are more "playful" and as I don't regard the 5960 as a particularly "dressy watch" I think the blue suits it character most.....

I'm literally in love with the blue dial!

topcat30093 · 9 March 2015, 08:10 AM

Since its induction, I have always been and still am a fan of the original grey dial.

Well put. In going back and reviewing this thread i tried to determine what the draw to the black dial was - and this simplicity (same color subdial, lack of red) was what gives the black dial the advantage (in my mind).

And to thread starter big congrats on the acquisition

Go 5960/1a on strap then for ultimate casually dressy awesomeness

Demonoid · 9 March 2015, 12:27 PM

Once you go black.... He he.

I think it's the most elegant, versatile, low production... The best.

rangercadre · 9 March 2015, 12:54 PM

the blue dial is amazing!! .but black have that edge in terms of classiness,easier to match with outfits as well.
