SS Daytona is in, but black face. Wanted white face. Opinions?

Ragu · 21 July 2008, 10:03 AM

I'd get whichever came in with the White face being my #1 choice.
If you can wait (who knows if and when) you'd get a white face then wait it out.
Go look at it and see for yourself if she talks to you!
Good Luck

Normally I'd say hold out for the watch you really wanted. In the case of the SS Daytona I'm apt to make an exception. Honestly, I think the Black face is a stunning watch.

Z-Sub · 21 July 2008, 10:24 AM

Take It

It is always possible to flip it later at no loss if you really want a white one. Or keep both

These are my sentiments as well.

And the one that I have gotmy name down for.
Congratulations.

Take the black dial. You will regret it if you don't.

I got the call for a white dial recently and wanted black. I did not have to think twice about it.

Sounds like a potential trade opportunity.

pwrslider · 21 July 2008, 10:26 AM

If it were me.......I'd take it...but blk is my first choice!

swatty · 21 July 2008, 10:28 AM

I'd take the Black face and stay on the list for the White one

That's how I felt too, buy the black one now and if I like the white one more I can flip it later at a profit.

Leaving to get it now, pics upon my return.

Z-Sub · 21 July 2008, 10:48 AM

Can't wait.
Don't speed!

Bulltrapper · 21 July 2008, 11:31 AM

and flip it, you'll get more for the black dial right now as it's harder to get....nice to get that call, enjoy.

Steven79 · 21 July 2008, 11:35 AM

yay congrats! take it, sell it, or pass it on if you don't want it.

golfsc · 21 July 2008, 11:44 AM

I had to make the same decision a few weeks ago. I got the black face and don't regret it...in fact I now prefer the black dial.

MikeV · 21 July 2008, 11:47 AM

It depends on how bad you want it. If you spend that much I say get the one that you really want. But you have to ask yourself if you pass it up, can you wait 6 months or so for a white one. If you don't want it, let me know i'm close to S.D. and have been looking for a black one. I passed on a white couple of months ago...yeah, it sounds crazy to some, but i'm not in a hurry and 10k is alot of money for me, so whether i get it now or wait months and months to get the one i really like i'm ok with it. BUT, both are nice!

GBJIV · 21 July 2008, 11:54 AM

Good choice to get it... The Black dial is gorgeous. You will definitely be able to sell it or you may be inclined to keep it after spending a little bit of time with it. Looking forward to the pictures and congratulations!

taylor · 21 July 2008, 11:56 AM

if you take it, you may go to the bottom of the list for a white dial. i say trade it for one in similar condition.

nch209 · 21 July 2008, 12:06 PM

Check out the black one, and I think you will like it! It is STUNNING!

MichDui · 21 July 2008, 12:23 PM

Just go get it. If you vacillate you will stess too much!!!

Wolfgang427 · 21 July 2008, 12:56 PM

Once you go black, you don't go back.....

what3ver · 21 July 2008, 01:20 PM

It's here, will post pics in another thread.
