Folks, I've been pondering about getting another M1. This time with Blue dial, or White dial.

I like both a lot, and would buy both if I could.....but on the basis of one or the other, which is the better choice?

The white dial seems very rare, and I like the contrast with the titanium. The blue dial has the contrasting sub dials, which I also like!

Hmmm...opinions please?

I have white dial on my M1, but I think black dial looks better.

I think the grey dial is my favourite, but out the 2 you mention, white would be my choice. Like you say it does seem less common that the darker ones.

Not many new ones about now, have you found a source for new old stock?

No, not NOS, but pre-owned. I don't mind p.o. as long as its in good condition and has the documentation.

The white dial M1 is still "tool watch" but with a touch of "gentleman" about it!

if you know what I mean?! :?: :lol:

They all look fantastic.
But the quintessential one for me is the yellow fellow.

Best wishes,

Like you say nothing wrong with pre-owned. 2 of mine are :)

So is the one with the UTC module the one you have lined up?

I'd go white myself,

Looks fantastic with almost any strap colour!
