Has anyone noticed the new 5960r new dials and the fact they discontinued the old rose dial ? I think the black is somewhat  decent but the lighter rose IMHO is terrible. What do you folks think ? 

.... agree with you jeremy...  i wasnt too fond of the gray dial to be honest, but like the white dial even less.  The black dial on the other hand is pretty bad ass IMHO... a great addition without the for the confused white dial... which is confused because the white makes it look too dressy for a watch that is dress because of its rose gold yet very complicated and very sporty with its agressive outward pushers stretching away from the case... also the white would probably look better if there was contrast in the subdials... the lines for the subdials without color makes the watch dial look unfinished.. love the brand and respect most of their decisions but i think this one might of been a mistake...

I am in Basel and I can say that the 5960R black dial is absolutely stunning in the metal while the white dial does not appeal to me at all.

In these matters of taste, I respecfully disagree.  To my taste, the discontinued dial was not a very pleasant shade of grey, whereas both new dials have the advantage of rose gold frames surrounding all three appertures (and not merely the date apperture, as is the case with the platinum and discontinued rose gold dials).  To my taste (did I mention this is about taste?), the opaline white dial looks very elegant and stately, while the black dial seems brash and less legible, at least in photos.

Park, my whole post was about personal taste and I appreciate you posting and giving your opinion. Maybe the new dial will appeal to me in person, will have to wait and see. 

I think the discontinued grey dial was the piece to have. It was a perfect balance between elegance and sporty. Which in my opinion what a 5960 is. It is not to dressy no tho sporty.  

I also love the grey dial on the rose as well as the platinum. 

The grey dial in rose gold is difficult  to appreciate looking at photos .its a beaut when seen in real time n life.

, is the black and white solid colour?  I like my grey dial and totally agree that you have to see it in person, the dial radiates different colours under different light conditions, perfect for a smart chic sporty watch.  The black is also good with RG but opaline, I prefer it with more dressy pieces.  I don't hink 5960 qualifies as a dressy watch.

Over the old grey and the newer off white dial.
