Is it just me or is anybody else liking the black enamel numbers more than the gold-applied?

 

[lawrencepastorMD]

yup actually after seeing the various models in black enamel they are neater/cleaner looking.

but then again.... its nice when you have BOTH EXAMPLES for all the models... hahaha

Agreed, but the luminous dial is also nice in a white Webster.
