Black if you're under 40s

I own both, but the white dial is much easier to read ....

White is easier to read but the black looks nicer, IMO.

I just bought a black two days ago, and next to my friend's white, the black really pops more. White is nice, but I would almost say seemingly more available than black. It is a good time to buy these watches if you can as some places have several available.

I vote for the white dial, the Daytona is the watch I want next and it will have a white dial to contrast the other watches in the collection. and with all the stff on the dial it is much easier to read the white over the black.

You guys are definitely right in that the white stands out in a sea of black dialed Rolexes.

I still think the black is soooo slick.

I really appreciate everybody for their help !! As you all can see i went for the black one . Sorry that i disappointed all the "white dial" fans out there. Now. I just hope i won't see a white one in person soon, or i will
