Hi, i am new here

and i am looking for some opinion. I am going to put down a deposit on a daytona, but, i can't decide whcih colour to get. Is there any price difference between the two ? They selling it for 11500 CND here. Is the price too expensive. Can someone please post up a close pic of both the white and black dial ? Thanks in advance.

Singslinger · 27 June 2010, 06:43 PM

There shouldn't be a price difference between the two, at least not in your part of the world (in some countries in Asia, the black dial commands a slight premium).

Personally, I prefer the white dial because I think it's easier to read.

Good luck and congrats on getting a great watch!

dardeca · 27 June 2010, 08:22 PM

Both are great...personal choice!

Roselló · 27 June 2010, 08:49 PM

Withe.

slcbbrown · 27 June 2010, 08:52 PM

I prefer the white, but that's partly because I have three black face watches. If I could only have one Rolex, it would be black. Still I really like the look of the white.

Daytona=White dial

White

nauticajoe · 27 June 2010, 10:18 PM

I'm on the fence.....I thought I liked the white.....

caveatesq · 27 June 2010, 11:51 PM

White looks better in my opinion and makes the watch different from my other Rolex sport watches.

sakuraba · 28 June 2010, 12:02 AM

Get the white dial. Other Rolex sport watches are only available in black dials except for the Daytona and the Explorer II.

My Vote - BLACK

white

Art 1 · 28 June 2010, 01:12 AM

I have white, reason being that when I got mine one hardly had a choice, the AD called and you got what you got. Given a choice I would go with black. For each 10 SS Daytona's I see, only one is black.

alpinab7 · 28 June 2010, 01:14 AM

Have to go for the white...nice predicament to be in however!

just4fun · 28 June 2010, 01:19 AM

Thank you very much for all you help =)

sea-dweller · 28 June 2010, 01:21 AM

I prefer the black dial.

M.A.B. · 28 June 2010, 01:27 AM

GO BLACK. As you can see by the responses so far, white is the dominant color choice. Be different my friend. Or better yet, get what YOU like.
All the best, Mark

Jolu · 28 June 2010, 01:36 AM

Black.

johnny80s · 28 June 2010, 01:43 AM

White..it goes along well with my sub.

Jim232118 · 28 June 2010, 01:46 AM

I agree with most of the post, white is easier to read and sets itself apart from most other Rolex sport models.

dukester · 28 June 2010, 02:24 AM

You can't go wrong with either of them. I love'em both but, white gets more wrist time than black !!

Seems a little high. MSRP is $9925 US. If my conversion is correct, 11,500 CND is $11,100 US. You may want to consider calling some other AD's.

White dial as it looks great (they both do), easier to read then black, and leaves room in collection for other black dial rolexes.

rolexdeepsea · 28 June 2010, 05:44 AM

i got a black face one i would recommend the same

Rolex Freak · 28 June 2010, 06:28 AM

I'd go white and purchase from some of the great sellers here on TRF. Good luck.

Gerardus · 28 June 2010, 06:29 AM

White 100%

joeychitwood · 28 June 2010, 08:58 AM

Just purchased a Daytona last week, chose white.

kcmo · 28 June 2010, 09:49 AM

It's a personal decision.....for me, 100% white!

I agree. I have the white, but I love the black too. I'll get it someday. In the meantime, I prefer the white because all of my other watches have black dials.

HACKNSACK44 · 28 June 2010, 10:19 AM

Black for me..

Joey_V · 28 June 2010, 11:16 AM

Black or white, they're surprisingly both very very nice. I had both on my wrist a few weeks ago and I was surprised how nice the white looked.

However, I prefer black.
