Those are the same two I was choosing between. But, being me, green won out and I'm very happy with the choice, although I think I'd have been happy with a white as well...

The white dial looks good with the leather

As nice as they are, I wish they would have put the sub dials in the centre. Surely that is not beyond the realms of possibility?

Sub dial location is dictated by the movement.

I was tempted by a blue one, but now having found a C65 LE then I don't see the need for two watches with blue faces. That green is rather stunning though..

Absolutely, so why not use a movement that has them in the middle? Does this have the flyback, or any other special requirements that requires this movement? There are certainly others available.

It is a tiny, tiny point, yet one that intrigues me. :)
