I think it’s appropriately rated (by most, but perhaps not all) as an excellent choice.

I don’t think many people underrate either the black or white Daytona C.

love both the black and the white and don't find either underrated in the least considering they are going so far over list price on the grey market.

I prefer it over the white dial and it’s not even close. Don’t @ me.

Off topic, but what kind of shirt is that? I like the fit.

It is not... the white appears a bit bigger due to the bright color and perfect contrast... I am on a list for the white... but nobody understated the black!

I thought only chicks liked taking selfies in the restroom using the restroom mirror.

Nice watch.

Great looking watch, ideal combo would be the black ceramic and the white ceramic dial. Then your covered with a white dial and black dial.

Black is awesome. I love it
White is my personal favorite
Having both is a privilege and something I couldn’t turn down

I think it is more striking but to me was a bit too similar to my subc so I preferred the white as it looks pretty different to anything else of Rolex's.

This! I prefer Daytona with white dial Plus it complements my otherwise darker dial Rolex watches. They are also more popular to the black and get more love on TRF and charge a premium over the black IMO. Doesn’t make the black dial underrated just less popular and it’s all relative.

Can’t wait to receive my white dial DayC next year!

Not underrated I think!

It was my first choice, love the look of monochrome steel contrasting against black. I admit I've only tried white once and in that lightning it did not sing to me, I was convinced it would be the one beforehand.

The white seems more popular on social media, it photographs really well, perhaps the history of panda dial is appealing, it's unusual with white dial on Rolexes so it adds versatility in a collection.

Was keen on the white dial, however when I saw both at my AD presentation evening it had to be black for me. I think it looks very edgy with the black on black and owning a Panda 116509 it fits my collection better....

I like both the black and the white. It comes down to personal preference as I don't see one as better to the other.
