Daytona Black or White Dial???
I keep on hearing in this forum SS Daytona Black or White Dial? IMHO they are actually spectacular in Black or White Dial! If you dress mostly in dark colors or black turns you on...then the Black Dial. If you're clean classy guy...then white is for you....but for whatever reason each person has their own calling for their dial color of choice!

Would it be nice to have in the near distant future from Rolex.....a watch that has embedded both Dials? Click it turns White....click it turns Black. Ahh, Presto!!! No more Black/White dial issue.

Cowboy, you need a green-glass Milgauss to go with those "boys."

i think white dial is the one to go for as it is easier to look at and tell the time.

Indeed this is the "mother of all Daytona dials".
Dedicated to the Rolex 116509 18k W/G Daytona
and as rare as a virgin in Miami's South beach...

I was lucky to have this dial with hands in my spare parts and my
TRF buddy Norman is now the new proud owner....
