Black or white is fine, „creme“ is better ;-)

Black is more striking but also wears off quicker for me. White is more lasting looking. Skin tone matters too.

I have owned the black several times and enjoyed it, just too small. If I did it again, I would go with the white dial.

Thank you very much.


They are equal in all ways, save for legibility.

White for me. Although I love both, I think the Daytona is "the" one for a white dial (Explorer ii also).

I used to own a 116520 white, I found it to be slightly more legible and more versatile.

I couldn't read the time on either but if I had to choose, I would go black. Good luck!

Hi guys. This is off topic.

I have a question, I recently inherited a YG Daytona from my father since he’s no longer using it. As I was adjusting the time, I noticed that when I move the crown forward, the time adjusts counterclockwise. Are there anyone else out there who have the same movement?
