Daytona 116500LN Black Dial or White Dial?

Which Daytona Ceramic Dial do you all prefer? If there is a thread for this please post as well. Thanks!

Hmmm. I don’t think anyone has ever thought about that question.

It’s like asking if people prefer vanilla or chocolate ice cream? If I like vanilla... why would I care if someone else prefers chocolate?

Wait... 56% of TRFers prefer chocolate? I changed my mind. Chocolate is better!

Hmm doesn't work. Some people like a swirl and therefore like both. Some folks own both watches. No need to troll, I just respect everyone's opinion. Thanks.

Which one do YOU prefer? And, for the record... I like both:




Vanilla and chocolate

Polls been done a lot of times in the past. White usually edges it by about 10%.

I prefer white myself.

The black has become much more popular recently. But white still seems to edge it.

I've always thought the white dial looked better in pictures, forum posts etc. But when I put both on the wrist, the black dial just looked more cohesive to me (whatever that means). Something about how the black bezel meets the dial. Was offered both over the last few years and bought the black dial.

Have both and the black dial is sexy and the white is playful, sporty. I like each for different reasons. Wearing my black Daytona today.

Initially liked the white, then the black due to glossy black dial, but the contrast offered by the white dial swung it over for me.
