I will be adding a new Rolex to my collection; I have it narrowed down to 2 which are shown in the photos. Any opinions are welcomed.

Black Face or
Blue Face

kyle L · 16 November 2009, 03:24 AM

Personally I like the first choice. The blue dial doesn't do it for me. But buy what you like, whatever suits you the best.

kcmo · 16 November 2009, 03:28 AM

black!

smallcandle · 16 November 2009, 03:31 AM

Black all the way!

esm · 16 November 2009, 03:31 AM

kinda like the blue with red details, but it is just me, i like blue dial watches. but for some reason i dont think it would not have a decent resale value due to its "unique" look.

will this be a keeper?

All of my watches are keepers! I currently have a SS Submariner, Platinum Yacht Master.

I think the Black face has a classic look to it which draws me in, but the blue is unique and the color combination is pretty cool just concerned I would get tired of it.

Black easy!!

moviefreak · 16 November 2009, 03:47 AM

Black...

timeisfathaoftruth · 16 November 2009, 03:52 AM

Looks way too easy to me....The black face.

All decisions should be that tough!

chillviper · 16 November 2009, 03:55 AM

Blue arabic!

sturgeon123456 · 16 November 2009, 03:56 AM

blue because the numbers are way cool

Wolfgang427 · 16 November 2009, 04:03 AM

BLUE

Denver Dick · 16 November 2009, 04:08 AM

The blue dial is quite striking. While I like black dials generally, I don't like the little gold sud-dials. So, even though I prefer hour sticks over numbers, as between those two, I would pick the blue.

Bullyterrier · 16 November 2009, 04:09 AM

Blue gets the nod from me as well.

so the next question you need to ask youeself would be (imo) - how unique do you want to be? and how would you feel when you know 99% of the time you will not see another blue faced Daytona like that in the wild (AD's window dont count)

nektar · 16 November 2009, 05:22 AM

the blue is crazy.. risky but i like it

slcbbrown · 16 November 2009, 05:24 AM

black

deserted · 16 November 2009, 05:26 AM

Black first choice , but the blue does look awesome!

Alsey · 16 November 2009, 05:31 AM

black beauty....

Tylden Reed · 16 November 2009, 05:53 AM

Black is traditional and will stand the test of time. Blue may go out of fashion. Tylden.

dalip · 16 November 2009, 07:27 AM

maybe post a poll??
IMO: Get the black...you'll want the blue...Get the blue...you'll forget the black...Good luck

forza1976 · 16 November 2009, 07:33 AM

Blue

PorscheStan · 16 November 2009, 07:41 AM

It's Black

julioa007 · 16 November 2009, 07:47 AM

Blue Arabic, it looks very similar the the 'White Gold' Daytona

Dr.B · 16 November 2009, 07:58 AM

Black!

mb hawaii · 16 November 2009, 08:02 AM

Black without a doubt!

BarkMaster · 16 November 2009, 08:03 AM

Of these two, I like the black face. The large numbers on the blue are cartoonish to me.

skywag · 16 November 2009, 08:31 AM

Black but with a "P" serial Zenith movement.

USCpaneristi · 16 November 2009, 08:49 AM

I always bet on black
