    I'm considering another white dial watch and wondering what's out there that I may not have come across yet.

    My preference is simple 3 hander, 'Pilot' style and preferably on bracelet, 40mm ish

    what have you got or suggest? pics welcomed

    thanks

    These are the two I've been looking at and trying to justify over the last couple of months
    Panerai 1087 and IWC xx
    I've enjoyed your replies to this thread and your watches/pics over the last few weeks, thanks all
    plenty of temptation and inspiration but not enough to sway me from my initial choices (current funds considered!)
    after some negotiation with retailers of both, I've taken a punt and the white IWC Mark XX will be with me early next week

    unfortunately wears too big for my liking, my Dad has one & I've tried it, just doesn't suit my wrist, it wears better on my forearm plus I'd have to take a scalpel to the cyclops
    I reckon I'm more suited to Mrs K's Tank

    Anyone else got one of these? I think strictly speaking is silver rather than white but I see I'm not the only one blurring the lines and it's a lot of watch for the money so what the heck:

    my first ever 'decent' watch was actually Longines not too dissimilar, unfortunately I lost it on holiday 18 years ago

    Haven’t got one, but it’s a really handsome watch.

    Not pure white, a bit silvery but white enough I think.

    Acquired from a jeweller's in Chelmsford about three years ago. Very nice for Ł75, though I don't wear it much.

    Congratulations Michael! That looks great on you. Worth a better intro in its own thread or on the AP one? You were after one for a while? Best to you. Martyn.

    A little update,
    The IWC arrived last month and I was pleased with my decision to buy, unfortunately after a day I noticed a small issue and so it had to go back.
    After inspection by IWC, a replacement was sent which I have picked up today. Really happy with this.
    Dial is white in some light and silvery in others

    Two beauties you have there , very nice
    Both a bit 'complicated' for me though (and significantly over my budget)

    I'd say that most watches posted here aren't really proper white - goes with the territory, manufacturers mostly seem to go for approximately whitish rather than the pure variety. I can see why - I think a pure white dial can be hard to pull off, it can look rather clinical or bland if the design isn't just right. I'd say the Explorer IIs on show in this thread are an example of doing it right, they look damn good.

    Nice Nomos, by the way.

    I remember when I got mine trying on both the 36mm and 39mm and having some difficulty deciding which one to go for. I chose the 39mm but looking at your 36 it's pretty sweet, the indices and hands in the context of the smaller dial give it a certain look that is maybe slightly more vintage.

    Same watch, dial and handset swap…
