Black always tends to be my default favourite as well. White/silver is OK too and tends to suit certain watches very well - e.g. Navis IMO as it blends the dial in with the outer slide rule ring. Other colour seem to come, but then they also seem to go quite quickly from my collection too.

White and/or silver and blue for me. Even if the latter is more difficult to pair.

Black and white/silver in equal measure. And a blue dial just because sometimes wearing color is nice.

Black dial most of the time. There are certain watches that I prefer a white/silver dial, like the IWC Portuguese line and like Driver said the Navi's, but mostly it's black.

I have mostly black dials, but try to liven that up a bit by throwing white, silver, blue, red and coral into the mix. :)

yeah i agree with you guys black does seem like the standard go to color for any watch. i started thinking about this more after seeing mfserge's collection and saw the way he had divided the color choices.

i think black will always be a high choice but white is a close second.
