I'd go with the white dial because you have a black dialed watch with the sub ND already. White adds another variation of color in your watch stable. GL!

Black

The good news, you cant go wrong with either.

The bad news, they both do have a really different presence. I like the crispness of the white. However, much more so against YG. The black face on the SS seems to give it a perfect sporty/dressy quality. I really enjoyed watching it on E in episodes of entourage.

Black.

WatchingTime · 11 September 2012, 02:20 PM

Lots of white here. yep... white for me too. the dial pops better, looks great with the steel.

red1108nyc · 11 September 2012, 03:18 PM

White pops more for me for sure on the wrist!

navthedon · 11 September 2012, 10:53 PM

to get noticed more....WHITE
I have one, love it!

Andrés G · 11 September 2012, 11:30 PM

One more vote for the white.

supertrooper · 11 September 2012, 11:34 PM

Faced the same dilemma a few years back. Tried them both on. Black won.

SPACE-DWELLER · 11 September 2012, 11:37 PM

Go for the "Zenith" Daytona with black dial!

AMCK87 · 12 September 2012, 01:09 AM

I went with white, and couldn't be happier.

psv · 13 September 2012, 01:32 AM

Black, unless you looking for pop and a bit more presence.

It's so hard to decide when both are just too gorgeous and the wallet is not willing.

Thanks

Honestly after seeing that I think you'd only look silly if you weren't to wear both at all times. I choose option c.

bewithabob · 13 September 2012, 05:41 AM

I think black looks better on your wrist. And the Zenith movement, is no longer available, so it is more rare.

Both are the same price albeit the 16520 is without BnP

Well do you prefer the Zenith movement or Rolex movement?

If it only comes down to looks, I like how the white surrounds look on the black dial.

jamespiritu · 20 September 2012, 06:12 AM

whittttte!

skeetshooter · 20 September 2012, 06:15 AM

White is much more professional if you wear it in a business environment.

VICI · 20 September 2012, 01:40 PM

I'd rather wear what makes me happy every time I look at my wrist.

I vote for the black face - its sexy.

The white face is nice but not fully exclusive.

Hairdude1 · 20 September 2012, 01:44 PM

White gets my vote

Saugor · 20 September 2012, 06:37 PM

116520 black I will choose

Every time. Once you find out why the Daytona is popular, it takes the shine off it somewhat. I also find it an incredibly underwhelming watch in steel, does absolutely nothing for me. The Speedmaster Pro is a true horological legend

White. The black dial is hard to read if you've got bad eyes. If you wear glasses, remove them and try reading both dials. White will be easier to read. I sold my black because of this.
