    Yes, actual white dials *are* annoyingly elusive. That silver thing turned me against several brands for life on a trip to Germany
    More pics of your Bulova, please, Olly!
    And how big is it?
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    It's 39mm by 7mm thick. Incredibly light and comfortable and a very nice dressy piece for very little money.
    Couple more pics and some thoughts on it here.

    I had a few to post but it would only feed the fires of silver vs. white so I refrained...

    Yeah, if someone wants to start a Silver and Champagne Sunburst dials thread, I've six watches ready to go myself.... (I think at one point my entire collection was sunburst)

    I have one white dialled watch, enamel. Shame it doesn't work

    quick fix

    Here you go (one click on the same spot on each dial, forcing it to "gray"). A better match might take a few minutes more. The point is - it ain't necessarily the camera...

    Oooh - can we? Please?

    Shall we start with physics, transduction, anatomy, physiology, or psychology? I'm not entirely sure how to fit in philosophy - but we can try.

    First, let's try to agree on how it's spelt.

    This one's the whitest I've got. But it turns green in the dark.

    Now see, Damasko, if you would just give the dial a nice radial brushing before slapping on that lume.

    Wow.....a sunburst lume shot....imagine.....
