I am flip flopping around on the face color, leaning towards black but also thinking white would stand out as being different.

It is a milled face one with five gauges. I got the white because it was a great deal but, I like the looks of the black ones a bit better.

I could always work a trade if you find a good deal on the black ones...

I bought theese dolphin gauges on e bay also, they were around $280 with the billet bezel and all senders included. the seller swaped the gauges for me to tan faced ones. you can't go wrong for the price.

That is a nice set and super deal. Tan faces, something else to think about. Also FWIW Harbor Freight is having a big sale here next week. Good for disposable and seldom used stuff, not so good for production work tools.
