 So, during the last year I have become a bit more obsessed with watch collecting (and wearing, of course) and have built up the beginnings of a collection that will hopefully grow and prosper over the rest of my life. I've already got some watches that I really love, but recently noticed that all except one are black dials. I really like white dialed watches, but can't seem to find the perfect one for me. I hope you much more knowledgeable and experienced WUS will be able to find it. First, let me list the watches I already have.

-Steinhart Nav.B in Stainless
-Dievas Vintage Cailfornia Titanium
-Lum-Tec Bull45 A3 (Don't have this one yet, but it's on order. It will be my only white dial so far.)
-Lum-Tec Bull45 A4
-Benarus Sea Devil w/ Black Dial
-Casio Sea Pathfinder SPF40-1V

So, as you can see I like my watches big (the smallest so far are the Lum-Tecs at 45mm, but those are square so they wear larger). I would like whatever white dial I end up with to be at least 45mm. In regards to style, I welcome all suggestions and am particularly looking for brands that I haven't thought of yet. I would like suggestions of watches on both bracelets and straps. The idea piece would be able to do both. Budget should be at least under $1000, preferably under $700.

Any ideas would be welcome, I would ideally like the watch to be able to be purchased new, but bought my Benarus used from a great 3T member (thanks, Michael!!) and it turned out great, so I would be open to a pre-owned watch, especially if the watch I end up liking is a limited production piece.

I'll leave you with a few white dialed pieces that I like, one of which I'll probably be going with if I don't find anything else I like.

Thanks for your help and friendliness to a new guy!
