    Hi,

    I wanted to ask the forum members their preference in terms of the new Aquatimer 2000 .I have seen the white dialled version in the flesh and I must say I am really tempted .The watch is stunning .

    Haven't been able to see the black dialled version as of yet.Although the pics on the forum look great.

    I have to say I am swaying towards the WD version but maybe thats just because I have been able to try it on .

    Any help or thoughts much appreciated.

    Tom

    I prefer the white. On the bracelet.

    Black is fine, but I have never been a fan of the black and yellow color scheme.

    It's the same watch, so it's all personal taste, of course.

    You know my choice, but does this help?

    In the end, go for what turns you on. I had no trouble deciding the WD was my preference. Both were at my AD so I could do a side by side comparison.

    It has great presence on your wrist. It is a real winner in my view.

    Hi Bill ,

    Excellent photos.. I am definitely leaning towards WD.

    The AT2000 is a real winner and has great presence on the wrist.

    I never get tired of the photos....

    of this great watch, and Bill's are some of the best. The white dial would be my choice if I was getting an AT.

    Best regards,
    Jim

    More functional (contrast) = black / yellow ......

    More beautiful..... who knows? A matter of taste, I think.

    No surprise here I guess....

    I was in love with the WD from the start and I'm very happy with her. In the end it's of course a very personal choice and it would be best to try to see them next to eachother if possible. Good luck!

    Your last picture...

    Your last picture really made me laugh!!!

    I have seen the white dial AT from Norbert and it does look good but the black dial and the yellow accents are very nice too. Difficult decision what to choose...

    Kind regards

    i have tried both...

    and really liked the white, however i want for the black as i will use this watch for fishing in bright sunlight and in the dark and i reckon i will get better visibility on the black dial during the day.
    i would probably have gone for the white dial if it was not going to be my "utility watch"

    They both look great. Either one would be a winner

    in my book.
    I think the black and yellow is more sport in looks.
    While the white one looks more teutonic.
