Vote and comments please - which is the best and why?

esm · 25 August 2010, 04:27 AM

white - cos i like white dila better than black dial for a SS Daytona

dddrees · 25 August 2010, 04:27 AM

I think either is fine actually. However since I do not have a white face dial and I do not have a Daytona, I would currently perfer the White Face Daytona.

QueueCumber · 25 August 2010, 04:31 AM

Black, but only because I have a white dial Rolex. The Arabic slate followed by silver Arabic are my favorites if you decide on wg instead...

GerardoG · 25 August 2010, 04:36 AM

White. Cleaner look. But I agree that black is also V E R Y nice...or as SO tells me: who cares about dial color, it is a Rolex SS Daytona!

Chipmunk · 25 August 2010, 04:39 AM

Black.

Joey_V · 25 August 2010, 04:53 AM

Ooh tough choice.

White is a lot better in person than in pictures.

Black is so nice.. deep glossy black...

sakuraba · 25 August 2010, 05:07 AM

White!

Only because you can get the other sport watches in black except for the Daytona and Explorer II.

kcmo · 25 August 2010, 05:08 AM

White all the way!!!!

sond86 · 25 August 2010, 05:11 AM

I prefer the whit but settled with the black as it was the first SS Offered to me

rfknauss · 25 August 2010, 05:14 AM

I voted for the white because it is so pure looking ...... just like me!

white - black is, well, too black and it's hard to make out what time it is as the dial is already pretty cluttered

Bspot · 25 August 2010, 05:28 AM

Glad to see white is slightly preferred over black, as I have a NIB white that I will list later this week on the FS page. I did photos but not up to the standards seen here so I need to reshoot them.

Art 1 · 25 August 2010, 05:45 AM

Neither is better than the other. I prefer white.

train-time · 25 August 2010, 05:55 AM

It's not a matter of which is better, IMO. It's a personal preference as to which version appeals more to the individual. They are both beautiful and I have owned and worn both the white dial and the black dial. I settled on black because I felt the white was more formal looking and black was more casual in appearance. I also felt that the black could be worn with a business suit or a casual shirt & jeans and fly "under the radar" without attracting too much attention. Again, it's just a matter of personal preference. Go for the one that sings to you, they are both classic Daytonas!!

Rolesor · 25 August 2010, 05:58 AM

white - i think it's cleaner, easier to read and just looks better :)

johnny80s · 25 August 2010, 06:19 AM

White is eaiser to read IMO.

tifosi · 25 August 2010, 06:30 AM

Personal preference. I have never seen either in person but I am drawn to the white.

Vee-Dweller · 25 August 2010, 06:46 AM

i vote black my ad has one put aside for me i tried both black and white on together ( whats the chances of that in the uk) liked the white but it was a bit flat looking the black looked fantastic on the wrist even from the other side of the dealer it screamed daytona the silver sub dials really pop on the black and i think it looks a little more modern in black. olso tried on a new ss sub ceramic there today, Ding Dong! i think the dweller might be going the journey soon.

darthmouse · 25 August 2010, 06:49 AM

IMO-

White = classic Daytona look

Black = classic sports line look

TSW · 25 August 2010, 06:58 AM

Couldn't decide

Too bad they don't offer the SS daytona w/ a white dial, black sub-dials.....or black dial, white sub-dials.

msjasa · 25 August 2010, 07:50 AM

White because it's easier to read. Specifically as it relates to the stainless version

notaclctr · 25 August 2010, 07:54 AM

Paris Hilton has the white one, so I got the Black

rolexdeepsea · 25 August 2010, 08:14 AM

Black steel and White too much of a clean look

Zed Homme · 25 August 2010, 09:47 AM

White, it looks great in the summer and is easier to read...

drefrank · 25 August 2010, 10:03 AM

Prefer the white as the readability is better IMO.
