I like the black dial, judging by the photos you took.

Black dial gets “lost” in certain lighting because of lack of contrast. Champagne much more fun and vibrant

The black is more subtle, more understated, if that is even possible to say about a Daytona.

Both are incredible and I would kick neither out of bed.
I agree, the champagne dial pops!!!!!

I am leaning towards the gold dial. I need to see the black dial with gold sundials.

I'd go gold dial for sure, really pops more and just seems to blend. The black dial seems to add too much black to the piece as a whole.

I’m biased since I own a YG Daytona with a champagne panda dial but after 20 years, still excited to wear it!

I've thought about adding this in the past and only ever considered the champagne dial. For me it is by far the best looking.

If you're willing to deviate from those other two, this is definitely the way to go IMO

Champagne dial is perfect for that watch. The way the black strap alternates to the gold case, black bezel, gold dial, black rings is close to perfection

Black is nice but too common. We all have black dial watches. Go Champagne with this one!

Is the black dial glossy or matte / flat ?

The full rose gold black dial version is flat and was underwhelming in person.
