·Obviously I haven't seen the watch and as you say it would make more sense if it was white. Hubert has it in his hand so I guess he knows what colour it is. I'd like to see a photo of the watch next to another watch that has a white dial though...
This one is probably a future classic. It's very nice indeed. The bright white snow dial really pops and the vibrant blue accents remind me of the Siffert edition.
It's not a pure white, so comparing it to a pure white dial proves nothing. It definitely has some sparkly flakes in it that gives a silvery sheen and that's what you're seeing. So if you want to say it's silver it's more a case of semantics, since it really comes down to different shades of gray.
This picture shows the various ends of the spectrum: light, middle and dark. For many people that equates to: white, silver and black. But one could also argue that the Monza dial is a very dark gray, the Ronnie Peterson a gray (rather than silver) and the Carrera RS a very light silver. Again, just semantics.
But at the end of the day, TAG clearly intended this watch to be white & blue to match the car. So it's white. 😉

·I would describe it as a metallic white. That's why there are some sparkles that make it look grayish in certain lighting conditions, but it's definitely a white dial.

·looks stunning! How does it feel on the wrist? Is the height an issue?
I am blown away by this watch, very very tempted to pull the trigger

·Lovely dial. I imagine it would look killer on a tan racing strap

·The Heuer 02 is a TAG Heuer movement and we all know that soon-to-be TH releases will also have this movement. We all do know that this is a “thick” (by some standard) movement, after recurring discussions among different topics & threads. So to expect something different (thinner?) on a newly release H02 watch is just tiresome already. 🙄
I expect the next argument in this watch would be, is it “noisy” ? 😁😜
TAG Heuer has commonly labeled “silver” color on an obviously white dial, unless we are some sort of color blind 😎
It looks white and it will be white as homage to the car (although TAG Heuer may label it “silver”) This is something not new that we all know already (of TAG Heuer confusing us) 😉

·Hubert already gave his initial reaction to the dial, calling it a "bright white snow".
It's not a pure white, so comparing it to a pure white dial proves nothing. It definitely has some sparkly flakes in it that gives a silvery sheen and that's what you're seeing. So if you want to say it's silver it's more a case of semantics, since it really comes down to different shades of gray.

Yeah, but that Nato looks blue to me.😗

·From this picture I can also see why the nato strap has a blue tint to its white. The entire inner core of the strap is blue. But I wish they had finished the end off with threads the way Tudor does on their fabric straps. The end looks a bit raw and like it might fray with repeated use.

·Yes, exactly right. That said, I personally like that it has a blueish hue, instead of being a full white. As it follows the shifting look of the metallic dial on different angles.

·I wonder if it would look less silvery if it didn't have blue on it? It looks white here, except the subdials... but I'm sure the blue is bringing out the silvery grey part of the white.
Here it's reflecting a pinkish or lavender hue. (@Snowy's pic)
Here the sparkly stuff and strap seem to reflect a more grayish hue. (Another from @Snowy)
Some people might call this an Arctic White, as there's a combination of light gray mixed with white within the dial.
Under more neutral light (as in @Hubert's pic) it looks mostly white. To me, the overall look is a white that can color shift slightly. Which makes it even cooler. 😎
