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. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
