The black dial version is more harmonious so to speak and in my humble opinion the better of the ceramic versions unless we are talking gold versions.

I respectfully disagree on the “harmonious” part, primarily because of the white writing on the black dial that doesn’t really go with anything else on the watch (mmmaaaaybe the lume?) - which makes the black dial less harmonious than the white for me as everything on the white is black or white and therefore goes together (obviously except the Daytona lettering). Of the writing was silver, it would have been much better.

Having said that the black dial has really grown on me (I own both), there’s something really cool about looking into the inky blackness of the black dial on black ceramic.
