My vote would be for black but with the Arabics (numbers) not baton (stick) hour markers. If you are set on batons, then I think the white is better on that watch. Ultimately, I'd get the Seawolf in yellow...but I know that is not what you are after. GMT is nice because it is a bit thinner, so more versatile. I'm sure you will be happy with any choice. If they made the GMT in yellow I'd be the first in line to buy one. That ticks all the boxes for my next watch.

Color is really a personal preference. Personally I like white dials. The reason is because it's a bit different than the usual dark dial watch. It stands out a bit more and generally is paired better with a black, blue, grey, and brown suit. I also feel a white dial looks great with a bracelet AND a black/blue/brown strap with varying stitch colors. To me it just makes more sense and gives you a more "rich" look when you need it or "bling" depending on your style.

Yes everyone is definitely helping. The majority of votes definitely goes to the black, but there is something about the off white that really grabs me! Looks very sophisticated in my opinion. I think that means I shall go with the white. And hey, there is plenty of other black face watches out there to add to my collection in the future :drool:

You already sublimely had it in your mind the white because of the fact you tried it on with the wrist that you would wear the watch. Did you even try the black one on your wrist hand you would normally wear the watch! This assumption was based on your picture showing both watches on your wrists.

Nice piece. Wear it in good health.

I tend to lean towards black, as it seems easier to read in various light conditions. My guess is you work in a well-lit environment so that may not be a factor for you.

As to your other question: I think it fits you fine and looks nice.

Finally, to be 24 years old and in a position to buy ANY watch in this price range, you must be doing something right. Congratulations!

White would be my vote! If you want to change to leather straps it gives you more options as well!

Personally I'd go for the Blue, ha ha. 43mm looks absolutely fine on your wrist, & I would guess that when you get used to this size, you'll find anything under 42mm will look quite small IMO.
I had the blue dial version, but in a fit of madness let it go, so will probably have another sometime.
