Just back from AD. I have the choice to get either a white or a black Daytona, but not both. The white is an early V and the black is a late M. Both have the same new clasp and at the same new MSRP. I tried on both. They all looked good in different way. The white one is easy to read and very clean look comparing to the black. The black is more stunning and will draw more attention. I like both but can only choose one. I need your help to decide.

toph · 19 November 2008, 03:26 AM

i would always go for the white, I much prefer it.

Either way, black or white, it's a stunning watch. I'm personally swayed more by the black.

I've owned many of both, and white wins me over every time.

Dr.B · 19 November 2008, 03:32 AM

I had the same problem. I chose white, to me it has a cleaner look, classy, and my wife liked it better. Good luck and whichever you pick you already know it's one hell of a watch.

daytona1 · 19 November 2008, 03:35 AM

Black is beautiful!!!! I had a white dial Daytona traded it for a black.

greenfan · 19 November 2008, 03:38 AM

White for me for a simple reason. I have a GMT with black dial, so I 'd take the white dial just for change. They are both astonishing though....

bodybump · 19 November 2008, 04:28 AM

Black or White its all good...I am planning to get a pam soon and i think white dial looks so stunning...

watchnut · 19 November 2008, 04:33 AM

I feel your pain. I have a white dial which was the one offered to me. I have to say, it just doesn't quite sing to me. I don't know if it's because you expect a sport watch to have a black dial or what. If I get a chance to see a black one in the wild and it does it for me I guess I'll be trading somewhere down the line. Good luck. You're fortunate to be able to compare them side by side.

chazha · 19 November 2008, 04:35 AM

I prefer black, its more rough and fashionable somehow. And fits better for Steel. IMO SS feats white dial is a bit boring for me.

Randy · 19 November 2008, 04:46 AM

I have both and think the black is much more sporty!

I have always thought the white is the one. However, after I wore them both on the wrist side by side, the white is a little plain compared to the black. The three sub dials against the black background is just stunning. But at the same time I am afraid I will be regret to abandon my original choice by choosing the black.

White dial! It also shows less fingerprints!

rescue7 · 19 November 2008, 04:51 AM

IMHO the black looks more sporty and the white more formal, but it was the white that sold me.

mojo · 19 November 2008, 05:21 AM

I have both and am trying to decide which to keep. They look very different, not one better than the other...just different. I hope you have an easier time than me making a decision.

tphan · 19 November 2008, 05:24 AM

To me the white dial shown beautiful sub-dials definition, under certain evening sunlight it's simply stunning.

On the other hand the black dial is also stunning but somehow it get much less wrist time than the white dial...that is enough to said which one I liked better.

As for which is more noticeable...trust me...either one would drawn great attention.

Welshwatchman · 19 November 2008, 06:01 AM

For me it's the white dial on a 16520 or black dial on a 116520.

Greenring · 19 November 2008, 06:06 AM

I had a choice between the Black or White dial. I took the white dial . Get what sings to you. You're the one who's paying for it and will be wearing it.

Cato · 19 November 2008, 06:27 AM

I'm not a big fan of the Daytona, but I think the black looks classy.

sini1717 · 19 November 2008, 06:27 AM

White for me cool and classy,

akhamdani · 19 November 2008, 06:31 AM

I think I will choose the white.

marke · 19 November 2008, 06:33 AM

it is a personal choise but white always seems the clearer dial to look at but the decision is totally down to you.

what ever you choose i am sure it will be the right decision.

kudosguy · 19 November 2008, 07:51 AM

I would go for the black dial - far more stunning and sporty. The white dial is nice, but not as stunning, and not as sporty.

mjtql · 19 November 2008, 07:56 AM

I would go with the white face. You can get a lot of Rolex watches in black but only a couple with white

Wolfgang427 · 19 November 2008, 08:11 AM

Romi · 19 November 2008, 09:55 AM

I thank every one of you for your valuable opinion. I tally the responses. There were 14 for white and 9 for black. Could anybody convince me to get the black?

Bisquitlips · 19 November 2008, 10:01 AM

I think, most humbly, that the white appears to be more desirable.

I love both!
