Have you considered a blue dial?
I really don't like these kinds of questions. It's difficult for me to make a recommendation when I haven't met you and have understood your style. So it's difficult to give a tailored answer to your very personal question.
I also have a personal belief that you should be finding one that you fall in love with, so if you're not falling in love with either one, then maybe neither is good for you.
But that being said, consider a blue face. A Patek Philippe Nautilus? If you haven't tried a Panerai before, you ought to try one on. It's a great weekend watch and it can be a very classic piece as well. Two dress watches and two sporty ones... That'd be a great watch wardrobe.
Available on the marketplace
2,850 Patek Philippe listings are live on the eBay market and 1721 collector listings on the WatchProSite marketplace.
A 15400 question with context...
I am considering adding either a black dialed or silver dialed APRO 15400 to round out a 4 watch collection of sports and dress watches. I have provided images of the other watches for context. The APRO will fit as a less robust sports watch that falls be...

Thanks for chiming in...
Particularly since you don't like answering these types of questions. Blue Dial: I did consider it, but I cannot live without a running seconds hand (15202) and I also would prefer not to support the brands with their boutique business model for a multitu...
Got it!
Thank you for pointing out those very valid points. I think the 15202 is great, but yes a second hand is nice. But the lack of the second hand is nice too. Less movement, making the watch more sedate. Both the Royal Oak and the Nautilus are great. If you ...
Blue
I looked at the 3 color options for my 15300 and chose blue. 3 years on I would unhesitatingly make the same choice again.
Prefer white than black...
...RO b'cos of beautiful contrast and is able to dress up and down.
Black
I generally prefer my sport watches to have a dark colored dial. For legibility. White or Off White seems more dressy to me. So 'Black' is my choice!
Comes down to .......
I think when you looking at all of them together, you will prefer a white dial because it feels like giving you more variety of choices. But remember, when you wear, you only wear 1 at a time. So I think it really comes down to which one grows on you more...
I would choose the silver dial
I think the black leaves you too similar to the Rolex. The silver is still a sports watch but more flexible than the Rolex.
