It is stunning. I saw one in the flesh a couple of weeks ago while car shopping and was blown away.

Black or white?.......both look real sharp to me! I don't think you can go wrong with either. brucethemanlee has got the right idea on how you can avoid making decision between the two!

Your new Daytona is beautiful. I own the white Daytona but could easily have chosen the black face. Congratulations.

OP may refer to the LN being underrated judging by the premium the white is fetching on the grey market over the LN and by its popularity; not that it is an underrated watch. I like the LN more.

This! White gets 100x more love on this forum and just wanted to make a case for the black!

Would love to own either! But agree I like the two colors of the black more than the three on the white.

Totally agree. Obviously no Daytona is ‘underrated’, but the Black gets a lot less love than the White.

I personally think the Black is way better looking.

Congrats on the watch!

Daytona BLACK

This! I prefer Daytona with white dial Plus it complements my otherwise darker dial Rolex watches. They are also more popular to the black and get more love on TRF and charge a premium over the black IMO. Doesn’t make the black dial underrated just less popular and it’s all relative.

Can’t wait to receive my white dial DayC next year!

Still waiting for my Daytona C Black and I disagree that it’s underrated.

It seems white is slightly preferred but not by me. I think black is more stunning.

Both looks great ... but for me, white is for sweet women, and black is for hard men :D

I love the Daytona, but it is a bit small.

Rolex will someday make a bigger one, they need to.

If I bought a Daytona it would be white simply to differentiate from my GMT.

I have to agree here. The watch does wear smaller than its 40mm size.

Not sure if they will

It is a perfect size in my opinion

The trend of larger watches I think has passed and it’s slowly trending back down

I agree. The black dial compliments the ceramic bezel better than the white. If Rolex stops producing the black dials and floods the market with only white, will the black dial becomes the hottest Daytona?
