SS Daytona Ceramic looks great

Previously I have tried on the white dial new Ceramic Daytona,

Today I tried on the black dial, and I have to say I think I prefer the black. It wears absolutely beautifully.

Hope you like the photos, the white dial photo was taken a few months ago and the black dial photos taken today.

I have the white dial on order as I already have the steel black. Hope it won't be too long a wait.

Listen to me Nairn, don't beat yourself up about it. Buy both .......yes the black dial is probably the more stunning in person of the two. But the white gives you more of that Paul Newman feel. ( Even though Mr. Newman wore both colors in his Daytonas.)...Both are obvious grand slams.

...I prefer the white dial and would buy one if I could manage to even get on to a list!

think I might consider the black dial skydweller instead...

Ice Blue is amazing, you're lucky you are all sorted, no AD games for you.

Buy both? This is the UK....getting one is virtually impossible
The BLNR is my own....they have a huge list for them too, same with black subs.

Both beautiful in different ways... But I vote with my wallet preferring the 116520 if black.

Please stop with the PMs lol

I don't have instant access to SS Daytonas, I merely have some good contacts who have let me see watches that have come in for people on the list.

I like the new Daytona Ceramic, but don't absolutely love it....so I haven't even joined any lists.

Wow, I can't tell if I like the white or black dial better - both look beautiful! I think the white one has a bit more "flash" but a black dial with white Rolex letters is outstanding. Congrats guys, great choice!

Fantastic feedback Narin! I've opted for the Black as it stands, but keep changing my mind, but I have heard from various people that the Black looks better in the flesh?

What's holding you back from getting your name down for one?
