The white metal and dial with blue accents is my favorite combination, so it gets my vote.

At first I thought it is fine as is, and when I saw the photos did not think much about it. Now I think maybe the grey going all the way up might look better. Still, as you say, it is the technical prowess of this piece that makes it special. Very well ex...
