The black dial version is more harmonious so to speak and in my humble opinion the better of the ceramic versions unless we are talking gold versions.

I respectfully disagree on the “harmonious” part, primarily because of the white writing on the black dial that doesn’t really go with anything else on the watch (mmmaaaaybe the lume?) - which makes the black dial less harmonious than the white for me as everything on the white is black or white and therefore goes together (obviously except the Daytona lettering). Of the writing was silver, it would have been much better.

Having said that the black dial has really grown on me (I own both), there’s something really cool about looking into the inky blackness of the black dial on black ceramic.

I think the black is more harmonious because the silver subdial rings match the bracelet.

agreed that the sub dial rings matching the bracelet and case is nice, which is what makes the white lettering stand out even more (in a bad way)

White for sure it really pops

The black dial looks very slick, but there's something about that white dial. I don't know if it's pop, but I do know it's beautiful.

The White has more instant appeal - which fades whereas the Black is more of a ‘slow burner’ that keeps getting better.... so Black in the long term has more ‘pop’ in my humble option.

Looking for pics, thoughts & feeback.

Visually the white will pop more since it has more contrast between Bezel/dial and subdials. Black is more uniform with dial and bezel matching and only the subdials presenting in white.

Undoubtedly the white.

White will always pop visually. Black has a harmonious appeal. It’s a matter of which do you fancy.

I couldn't find pink but I voted for black since it's the mostly masculine color on the list :)

White for sure

White smarter, black sportier.

One's skin tone makes a difference as well. I'm fair, so usually dark color watches "pop" more with me. Had a white dial 116520 that I bought due to hype but sold shortly thereafter as it was too stealthy on my fair larger frame. Different strokes for different folks. Always buy what you prefer.
