Black dial for me if ceramic.

White dial if a steel bezel

Hard_Six · 15 September 2018, 12:11 AM

I went white. Just wanted a something a little different to keep the collection diverse (blue, green, black, white). I also like that the white is very legible.

ahlee00023 · 15 September 2018, 12:17 AM

White...of course.

boom! · 15 September 2018, 12:21 AM

Pick white.
Reason: better contrast.

KeithP · 15 September 2018, 12:33 AM

Voted Black. Just plain looks better imo.

JPS · 15 September 2018, 05:14 AM

Thanks all

cdbeaver66 · 15 September 2018, 05:21 AM

White

Intense5 · 15 September 2018, 05:25 AM

Gotta go white! It’s s classic look. Plus you can actually read it! I have had both and sold my black for that reason. Cheers.

Essentially, my dealer has informed me that I can only have one dial colour. Not both! That’s regardless of one coming in & then me asking to wait for the next one to add. The answer is no.

I just think it wears better..
But wearing black dial now and it’s really hard to choose between to be honest

I went with white in your poll. I have mostly black dial watches and probably actually prefer black. In my mind though a Daytona should have a white dial if nothing else than nostalgia's sake.

TimeToWatch · 15 September 2018, 11:13 PM

I prefer the steel 116159LN as its a full panda, sunburst dial and a 6263 Big Red throwback...but if talking stainless, I greatly prefer the black 116500 as its much more versatile than the white.

Muxi · 16 September 2018, 12:16 AM

White is definitely better for this reference.

Lowdowntwotone · 16 September 2018, 04:07 AM

Has to be Black

polaris72 · 16 September 2018, 04:08 AM

I chose white as I have many watches with black dial.

R G · 17 September 2018, 03:48 AM

I’ve always loved the stainless steel predecessor and would always opt for white in that reference.

With regards to the current ceramic version, I would always go black.

My reason for this is because whilst I love vintage references, generally speaking I dislike modern ‘vintage’ looking watches.

People like the white dial version as it almost celebrates the Daytona’s of the past, whereas I find the black dial staying modern, and in my opinion, better looking with the black ceramic bezel.

I thought I would prefer the white dial but I saw them both at an AD yesterday and really liked the black. If and when I get the call, it will be a tough decision.

Boba Fett · 19 September 2018, 04:48 AM

White. I've only seen the black, it was relatively difficult to read the time. White appears to be much more legible.
Also not many choices with Rolex for white dialed sports watches.

Passionata · 19 September 2018, 05:00 AM

With Daytona the answer is always white no matter the reference.

Is that because White is the colour associated immediately with the Daytona? You think Daytona & White is the associated colour?

GMT Fan · 19 September 2018, 08:42 AM

I was offered a black Daytona last week at my AD. Turned it down cuz I like the white one a little better. Now I am a doubting myself thinking I may never be offered a white one and should have taken the black. Ugh. Regret. Hate it.

DoctorA · 19 September 2018, 09:50 AM

I wonder what the answer would’ve been if the black one was the more rare!
That’s IF they produce less of one dial color

RFBHD · 19 September 2018, 09:59 AM

Once you go black you never go back

I also was offered a black Daytona a couple months ago, but passed. I’m holding out for the white. Needless to say, I’m still waiting but don’t have any regrets. As stated before, Rolex offers very few white dial options in the professional line. White will be worth the wait!

Yes, I believe so. I think the white dial looks best in every iteration of the Daytona including YG.
