It seems a bit more fun and it also feels like a casual wear. For me the white seems a bit formal. I presume you have other watches to fill that role. If this is your only watch, then get the white as it could be worn in a more formal setting if push came to shove.

I think you might eventually grow tired of the green. I also find the white dial aesthetically more pleasing. And it’s simply more timeless.

given your huge collections. It seems more special and fits the spirit of the watch.

The white dial is a little too white for me.

I like the white dial but would prefer a more sporty look (white with red accents, for example, instead of some of the more pastel tones).
