torresp Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 SS white fat hands but thinking to buy a black dial and change it (but no sure, all my other watches are black dialed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 SS white fat hands but thinking to buy a black dial and change it (but no sure, all my other watches are black dialed). For the 116520 I like more the black dial. But I found only the white dial... Is yours gen i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torresp Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yes, it's gen. When I bough it I tried both and found black dial more difficult to read. Actually I miss the sport look of the black dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
