To be honest it was a tricky decision. I remember talking to a work colleague the day before I went to buy it & saying "first pick is the GV (green crystal), then the white, then the black". I arrived at the AD as soon as they opened & we laid all 3 versions (available at the time) on the table for me to pick from. My personal opinion was that under the lights of the AD the green crystal looked the worst. It washed out the definition of the dial & seemed to clash with the orange hour markers. So it came down to the white & the black (non GV). I would not have regretted getting the white, but the white dial has numbered 5 minute markers over the hours while the black just has orange squares instead. Again, just my preference, but the black dial looked the better to me. So what I thought was my least favourite going in, turned out to be the one that sang to me the most
