Hadn’t thought of that!

Just another reason to justify another watch … thanks

the white dial looks so clean and the red text adds a lot of characters to it.

Don't fight it Brian. We all know where you're headed.

What if Omega dropped the ball and released a white dial Ed White

I have no idea … I’d probably faint

Can’t wait to see this one in person

Wasn’t the 321 ordered without seeing it in real life? Seems to have worked out okay for you. :-)

Well you’re right my friend it did

I’m hoping a local AD will have one to see but if push comes to shove …

I still haven't voted on my own poll

Lots of good points being made in this thread.

I guess I do have a black dial 116500 so maybe the white dial Speedmaster is the right choice for me

[gnuyork]

Tough choice. I have the black dial and wear it daily. I do sometimes look down at my wrist, and though it wears comfortably with no issue, I wonder if it's just a touch too big for me. I think the white dial would perpetuate that perception. When I saw the Daniel Craig leak, I had to have it, even went to my local Omega Boutique to inquire about it and get on the list.

But now that I see more photos released, I'm slightly, and I mean very slightly, less impressed with how it looks. That's not to say it doesn't look fantastic, but I'm not going to try to be the first in line to get one (like I did when the black dial when it was announced). I think I will let it simmer and actually try to see one in the metal (if that's even possible in the near future) before making the final call. But if I had to pick one today, right now, it's the original black dial. It's so good.

[Easy E]

I would categorize the new white as strong to very strong.

As an Omega fan boy, I never really liked the 1861 Speedmaster. I thought it was too boring so I got the FOIS instead. The 3861's are a huge improvement but I still didn't really feel the need to own it.

The white dial 3861 is definitely something I want to get to go with my FOIS and Snoopy 50.

[RFC]

White dial. I passed the FOIS to my son so need an excuse for a Speedy.

[Mastergreenhand]

I’d have to see the white in person. I think the black is perfect.

[ap1]

At current poll, 65.3% white leading

[yetione]

I've owned black speedmasters, i grew bored and sold off. Zero buyers remorse.

I'm ITCHING to own the white.

[silvertip]

Love the applied indices on the white dial, but wished Omega went a little farther and upgraded to a ceramic bezel.

White dial looks very handsome, but it's going to perceptively wear much larger than the black.

[syed087]

I think black is more elegant, but seeing white in-person may change my mind

[fayraree]

Black for me. Would need to see the two in your wrist to decide what’s best! I’m contemplating the same decision between black or silver Cartier Roadster XL.

You always read my mind.
In my case, with the panda mod FOIS the step to the new white makes less sense though.

I’ve been eyeing a Moonwatch since last summer. Was planning to get the Sapphire Sandwich pretty soon as the Daniel Craig leak happened.

I decided to pursue the white dial after trying it on at my nearest OB. The watch, very strangely, wore a little smaller on my wrist (maybe I was too rushed, but it felt that way to me).

Put a full order price deposit down, and now I wait. They figured 1-2 months. Hope they were over estimating the time!

[Alex_TA]

White hands on black dial are more legible IMO.

IMHO, Once you go black, there’s no turning back.

Speedmaster in black always looks classy. It’s just more versatile and elegant

[Dougiebaby]

W-H-I-T-E !

I've respected the Moonwatch, but it never really appealed to me ... until now in white.

I paid a partial deposit on release date and looking forward to my first Speedy. :)

Okay so I've just spent a bit over a day with the white one now. I feel white is superior at least for me for two key reasons:

1. The glossy dial vs the matt on the black
2. the indices vs painted lume on the black

The watch feels like a level up in class. It's a bit like when you look at the WG speedy the dial just as more 3d to it.

Interesting. I also just received the white dial Speedmaster and while I like it it is hard for me not to like the black dial. Less than a week in, I would take the black dial 3861 over the white but it is early. I will see.

[GTS Dean]

The poll doesn't have an option for "BOTH"
The new 321 is an amazing piece!

[warrior]

I saw the white right next to the black sapphire sandwich and the white dial visually had more depth to it with the recessed sub dials. The white lacquer dial looks fantastic IMO.
