Rolex Daytona-Black or White in SS?
I have a couple of sport rolexes with black dials and am considering getting a Daytona for something different. I have seen both dials and like both, though White dial might be slightly easier to read. That said, I don't own a white dial but none available at my AD with no time line for getting one in. Does anyone know if one holds it's value more than the other for future trade in US? He will sell me the black dial one if I want it so just trying to determine which to get. thanks for your thoughts.

If it were me, I would go with white. As you wrote, it's easier to read, and you already have a couple of black dials.

Based on your collection, I would go white. Good luck.

Easier to read is white. Black is also very charming. Can't go wrong either way!

White dial. Something different for your collection, and u love a crisp, white, rolex dial.
I'm sure there are some on here. Or reach out to Dennis at Goldwatchco, I bought mine from him. |

Black and white both awesome dials on the SS Dayt. As an addition to your collection I would try to find a white dial dayt since you already have a few black dial watches.

I have owned the black and now own the white because it is easier to read, hope that helps.

If it's an AD you order the white dial Daytona it arrives you buy it and you get what you want that is why there are Rolex AD's
 That being said I prefer the black dial

I prefer the black, but there really isn't a wrong decision here.

Daytona looks better with black. Legibility comments are accurate though.

White dial. I was in a similar situation a few years ago when I was on he market for a SS Daytona. Went with he white dial as I had many black and dark coloured dials and not too many whites. Tough choice because the black dial is very sharp.
