I have the white dial and I absolutely love it. I have it on a mesh bracelet but I just changed it to a black croc strap today and I love it even more. It's a beautiful piece and has a huge wrist presence.

I've not seen the black dial in the metal, but I have tried on the silver dial and it is a very nice looking watch so that would be my choice too.

I saw the silver dial at an AD - awesome! If my wrist could handle it I would have one already. Something the way the black subs stand out on white dial surrounded by black bezel - cannot explain it - just like the look.
My vote silver dial.

I voted for the Silver dial. If I recall, your Airwolf has the darker dial so mix it up and go with the silver.

That's quite true, Justin!

You have to admit the black dial is equally beautiful as well! :drool:

Black dial was my choice but only just and it's that's a personal preference only.

Why - I think the black dial with white subdials works better than the reverse. However as I've tried neither watch on my decision is only based on the pics. Which one do you prefer?

Tim S: I initially have my heart set on the Silver dial until I saw someone with the black dial, they both look awesome!

Jnelson3097: Thanks for the link, mate. Andrew has very nice pics of the SOHCLE!
