Alright guys so I have a new 114060 Sub and love it, I have to opportunity to trade a watch I just got with some cash for a White 2007 or Black 2006 Daytona.

Both would be the same deal, what would you do? Pretty much same shape and the white includes papers and the black doesn't.

jjnd08 · 12 February 2014, 07:42 AM

White. It gives you a light colored watch, and a dark one.

R3mmzy · 12 February 2014, 07:44 AM

white it shows bigger on the wrist than the black.

plus I always like having papers with a watch :)

Solo118 · 12 February 2014, 07:46 AM

Black for me

tkc324 · 12 February 2014, 07:50 AM

Either are great choices... i have a white one and love it... but i do feel its a bit more dressy at times.

RolexJNJ · 12 February 2014, 08:16 AM

No question, black

couturegirl · 12 February 2014, 08:18 AM

Black, when I was trying on both last week before I decided on YG, it was black all the way. I love it because from far away you can see the zones better than on the white dial.

dimster · 12 February 2014, 08:22 AM

I'd go white on this one, but ONLY because of the box and the papers.
All things being equal (box, papers, condition, service history) I would definitely choose the black one.

What's the service history on those watches? They are pushing 7-8 years now.

KBM · 12 February 2014, 08:25 AM

Nicer looking and 1 year younger! I'd go white.

nauticajoe · 12 February 2014, 10:01 AM

White for me.

beshannon · 12 February 2014, 10:04 AM

To my eyes the black was very difficult to read, you need to see them on your wrist.

I prefer white.

Mines black and its fine

afc1 · 12 February 2014, 10:09 AM

I love 'em both. Can't go wrong either way!

Starbucksboss · 12 February 2014, 10:12 AM

It a funny thing...I notice that in Europe it appears black faced Daytona's etc are more popular and in US seems white are.

Racerdj · 12 February 2014, 10:16 AM

White would be my selection!

Gaijin · 12 February 2014, 10:21 AM

This has been done numerous times. White always wins.

fullcourt · 12 February 2014, 10:24 AM

I have no issues reading the time on my black faced Daytona....I always prefer having papers with any watch purchase. So I guess I'm conflicted. LoL

Good luck

Jfullm42 · 12 February 2014, 10:27 AM

Haha sorry guys, don't want an all our brawl. And yes sorry I know this has been done so many times. It honestly has come down to a flip of the coin and I think as of right now the black one is winning out. I will make up my mind by nights end, but then again it could change tomorrow morning

The problems we have sometime

theseira · 12 February 2014, 11:03 AM

Black for me!

Tokyo Time · 12 February 2014, 11:06 AM

I like my SS Datty in white but if I would go black if YG

natelaw · 12 February 2014, 11:18 AM

WHITE!!!!
No two ways about it!!!
White is newer and has box and papers
Black is older and has no box and papers.

What's there to possibly think about...???

superdog · 12 February 2014, 11:34 AM

Thus is the best debate ever.

And shows the diversity in opinions.

OP. Flip a coin. You win.

Congrats. I personally love the Daytona. The case size, bezel and sll dial options are winners.

Haha Seth I have been flipping a coin all day, right now black is winning out, and black does have boxes and booklets, just no papers.

BNA/LION · 12 February 2014, 12:25 PM

Black looks meaner

Nidal · 12 February 2014, 01:17 PM

black is pure class

Roller07 · 12 February 2014, 01:20 PM

White.

Investr · 12 February 2014, 02:16 PM

White, I'd never buy a watch with no papers bc it will really hurt it's value at trade time.
