Personally, I prefer gold's legibility (usually, I'm a white dial guy, when possible)

Gold, for sure. Legible and classy. I have the black dial on bracelet and it really pops but with the ceramic bezel the gold works so much better.

If you have other black dials, gold. If not, black.

I've never been a fan of the gold dial.

The black looks sleek and clean...or as clean as a Daytona dial could look!

Black. Better overall balance between watch and dial area, and gold hands are more visible than on golden dial.

I think the black dial looks better with that black bracelet.

Gold! For a black dial, go with the Yacht-Master. I am slightly biased...

Black for me. I think the dial goes better with the OF.
