Go for the silver version
I like the Pilot watches especially Zenith and IWC and I owned a few but the silver version is by far the one which attracted most compliments. Silver used to be very common for pocket watches but has never been used for wristwatches. It works very well with this Pilot giving it a beautiful vintage look. The brushed dial with the rivets make it very special.
Opinion needed!
Hi folks, What’s your opinion on the Zenith Pilot silver case? Would you choose it over the classic bronze case? I think the dial looks very special and well executed. Looking forward to your feedbacks. Laurent ...

Based on a previous experience, i have been owning a silver dial Monaco watch and well ... it appears that the lack of contrast makes it quite hard to read in the long run and also quite "cold" ... In a summary i would not buy it again today ... Now every...
Yeah same feeling I have about the silver!!
It looks cold compared to the warm feel of the bronze. But the dial on the silver looks very nice as well. That’s what I’m debating
I also try to avoid low contrast difficult to read dials but saw one at the local AD and thought it (silver) looked special. But while tarnish/patina might be enjoyed and welcomed
on a broze case I doubt that would be the case with silver leading to a lot of polishing and fussing around. Based on that I'd choose the bronze version with high readability being an extra bonus.
Silver with also tarnish and create a very nice color over time!
Even if the surface is polished it will still get the tarnishing silver gets with time. Also having a silver dial with these rivets makes it even more unusual!
