Hope this helps. I don't have the diamond bezel anymore, let me know if you need more pics.
I think it looks great on black or brown croc.

IMO the white stitching makes the dial pop and looks more refined than the bracelet. Plus I'm tired of scratching it so I either wear it on the croc or rubber.

Thanks, it looks great! Question, did you change out the spring bars when you went from the SS bracelet to the croc strap?

Not at first, but upon further research the correct spring bars for the straps are 1.8, whereas the bracelet bars are 1.5. I don't live near an AD so I got aftermarket spring bars from eBay. They seem to be the same quality and have held up great.

The only thing that was took me a little to get used to was when it was brand new. They can be kind of stiff and take a little time to break in. I put mine on the travel pillow for a couple days to take the shape and then it was fine after.
Are you getting a tang buckle or a deployment clasp? They are both comfortable to wear, but the deployment is very comfortable, and worth the extra money. But they are both nice.

Does the white "wear" a lot bigger than the black/blue dials ?

I have both a Black SA and and White SA. IMO the white does wear a bit larger. My black dial has numerals and the smaller wings where the white dial has the batons and the larger wings. They might be the same watch but the honestly wear completely different. The white dial just seems like more watch to me when I look down. I like a big watch though so the larger wearing look of it doesn't bother me.
