I prefer the white dial. Legibility is better to my eye.

Lucky777 · 20 March 2016, 10:55 PM

They both look great, the white strikes me a bit more initially and is what I'll probably wind up with once the heat cools off

It still does but man the black is growing on me! This will be a win/win, and I'll definitely stick to my original choice. Anyone else having the same troubles........ This pic is making it a little easier for me

You made the right choice in my opinion. The white is an absolute instant classic!

VAWATCHGUY · 20 March 2016, 11:55 PM

I have always preferred black dials, but the white one is stunning. Making me reconsider.

SUB14 · 21 March 2016, 12:07 AM

I haven't seen them in real life, so it's tough to make a good decision. From the pictures I really like the white dial!

Based on the watches I already have with black dials (114060, 116710BLNR...), the white dial would make it a bit more special in my collection. I also like the improved legibility and functionality. I'd rather choose the white dial ceramic Daytona and add a Speedmaster Professional as a black dial chronograph.

So in my opinion, it also depends on the other watches you have. I think I've chosen the black dial Daytona-C if it would be my only watch..?

I can think of a few things that would cause more 'agony', good position to be in having to make the choice 👍

We are fortunate.

I initially was thinking white but now in leaning towards black.

japenney · 21 March 2016, 12:41 AM

I posted the answer earlier! Get white and trade for black if your on the fence!! White will be in higher demand it seems like so easy trade !

playmore009 · 21 March 2016, 12:53 AM

Tough choice! I don't have this problem as it is not currently in the budget.

I do like the black but i think ultimately we ALL think 'white' when we think 'daytona' and for that reason i think you would flip it to get the white eventually.

tmehanna · 21 March 2016, 01:30 AM

Unless you really prefer one to the other, go with the color you need more for your collection. The white is more sporty but I am not a big fan of the sharp contrast or the "panda" look. Kind of looks "odd" to me - for lack of a better word, though this could add novelty points. From the pictures I have seen, I prefer the back dial. Elegant, understated and more balanced.

sea-dweller · 21 March 2016, 01:32 AM

White for me! But, they are both beautiful!

Too bad.

travisb · 21 March 2016, 04:49 AM

I immediately knew white was the one for me.

RJRJRJ · 21 March 2016, 04:53 AM

Have my order in for a white, and have absolutely no doubt I made the right choice.

If I had the funds I'd get both.....but seriously....gut feeling said black, voted black initially in polls.....looked @ more pictures and understood it had to be white....now if the AD would only call me back lol.

therolexguy · 21 March 2016, 05:22 AM

This is how it usually goes: if you own the white dial, you want to get the black dial; you then get the black dial, you want the white dial.

Sose · 21 March 2016, 05:53 AM

Here's how I have always viewed Daytonas - white.

Most Rolex models have black dials. The Daytonas are very nice change of pace.

This being said, I wish the bezel were white instead of black.

Can ceramic bezels be made in white or is this a limitation of the material?

The contrast between bezel and dial makes the white Daytona really stand out.
