I'd get whichever came in with the White face being my #1 choice.
If you can wait (who knows if and when) you'd get a white face then wait it out. Go look at it and see for yourself if she talks to you! Good Luck

Take the black dial. You will regret it if you don't.
I got the call for a white dial recently and wanted black. I did not have to think twice about it.

Normally I'd say hold out for the watch you really wanted. In the case of the SS Daytona I'm apt to make an exception. Honestly, I think the Black face is a stunning watch.

Take It
It is always possible to flip it later at no loss if you really want a white one. Or keep both

That's how I felt too, buy the black one now and if I like the white one more I can flip it later at a profit.
Leaving to get it now, pics upon my return. |

Take the black

I had to make the same decision a few weeks ago. I got the black face and don't regret it...in fact I now prefer the black dial.

It depends on how bad you want it. If you spend that much I say get the one that you really want. But you have to ask yourself if you pass it up, can you wait 6 months or so for a white one. If you don't want it, let me know i'm close to S.D. and have been looking for a black one. I passed on a white couple of months ago...yeah, it sounds crazy to some, but i'm not in a hurry and 10k is alot of money for me, so whether i get it now or wait months and months to get the one i really like i'm ok with it. BUT, both are nice!

Good choice to get it... The Black dial is gorgeous. You will definitely be able to sell it or you may be inclined to keep it after spending a little bit of time with it. Looking forward to the pictures and congratulations!

if you take it, you may go to the bottom of the list for a white dial. i say trade it for one in similar condition.
