Daytona Dilemma: Which one would you choose?
Box and papers aside. Both being the same price. Which one would you choose and why? I'm in a quandary.
BTW my collection so far consist of a 14060M, blue Arabic dialed Airking, Rootbeer GMT and 16622 YM. So maybe you guys can help me out by the colours in dial variations of the watches in my stables. It's so hard to decide when both are just too gorgeous and the wallet is not willing. Thanks |

I was told the black face is more sought after in Asia so go for the black face

Both? If I had to pick one, it would be white. For me, white because all of my other watches are black dials.

I went for the white one.
I'm generally not keen on white faced watches but, as I say, I went for the white SS Daytona and I quite like it. I was comparing it to someone's white faced Explorer the other day and I don't know why but I didn't like the white face on the Explorer at all. |

Every time. Once you find out why the Daytona is popular, it takes the shine off it somewhat. I also find it an incredibly underwhelming watch in steel, does absolutely nothing for me. The Speedmaster Pro is a true horological legend

Just to point out that the black dial is a 16520 while the white is 116520.
Both are the same price albeit the 16520 is without BnP |

I found the black one impossible to read, so I went with white

I like the white dial as it pops more when on the wrist.
