Hi, and for a total outsiders opinion
If you had of mentioned that you wanted to do other things, and perhaps a bit of the out doorsey stuff, I would have suggested the white dial. Looks very classy in my opinion.
But for me, for a rugged, hiking, skiing, (discretely tough) look, I'd be all over the black dial.
Very, very nicely understated
regards
