Another vote for the white dial....

Wincap · 25 February 2011, 10:08 PM

Definately Black! I bought a black one first, thought I made a mistake buy not buying a white. After a month with the black I bought a white one. Don't get me wrong the white is absolutely beautiful but I still love my black more.

from a usability perspective then white - much easier to read.

if you want something super classy and sexy where you don't mind squinting to read the dial, then black.

but don't listen to me - get what sings to you

Rolexavidfan · 25 February 2011, 10:36 PM

White for me because it makes the dial appears bigger. However I am also contemplating on a black one to round up the choices.

Go for the white!!!!! If you compare them side by side the white looks a lot better. In pictures the black dial looks awesome but in person white is even better. I originally went looking to buy a black dial but ended up leaving the store with a white dial. Hopes this helps but either way both are nice.

Thanks every reply. I appreciate you all.

Yes. I want that too. But I think it will take a long time for Rolex to update Daytona to have ceramic bezel.

Probably at an AD. I haven't decided yet. If you have any suggestions please feel free to PM me. Thanks.

it's a hard one. Black is more popular in Asia but I think white dial makes a good addition to any collection as most watches have darker dial.

GolfPunk · 26 February 2011, 03:50 AM

Black! Class in a glass!!

Chipmunk · 26 February 2011, 03:59 AM

Get the one you want.

RRGHOST1 · 26 February 2011, 04:12 AM

Not a lover of the Daytona,but if i had to buy or wear one, it would be the white dial.

nch209 · 26 February 2011, 08:38 AM

either... just get the "other" dial for a few bucks and have the best of BOTH!!!

hennabav · 26 February 2011, 05:41 PM

Had both...but currently white for me!! Especially Zenith...probably one of the most beautiful dials out there!!

paolo14 · 26 February 2011, 08:05 PM

Black in a heartbeat!!!

That is one of the reasons I want to buy the white dial. But the back dial looks very nice as well.

travisb · 26 February 2011, 08:54 PM

Today? Black for sure.
6 months ago? White.

I love this dial. It's a pity that the current Daytona SS doesn't have this dial.

May I know why you change your interest from white to black?

anipit · 26 February 2011, 09:00 PM

White!

I don't think I will use chronograph function. Is it okay to buy a chronograph watch but don't use it?

White dials always work for me!

Gaijin · 27 February 2011, 01:02 AM

I have both, but generally I wear and prefer my white dial Daytona..

That's the ultimate daytona dial IMO.

thebrain0 · 27 February 2011, 01:09 AM
