I want to say the white. However, the black looks great as well.

I would have to say either one. Which ever you have a chance to get first.

I had a choice to select once just last month. I went for black. Then, next one will be white.

I have several black dials (not Daytona) so I ordered a white dial. I like the white face but the smaller dials could contrast a bit more.

Normally I'd say black for everything but dress watches; however, the white Daytona is something extra special. The black isn't too "shabby" either ;) Can't go wrong either way.

depneds on which way the wind is blowing that day. both are really nice. However, the black face is a little harder to read then the white face. I personally like both the same.

In Denmark the WHITE Cos seems to be the most popular.

At the time I purchased mine black was more rare than white. I was lucky enough to be able to choose so I chose black. But sometimes I wish I would have gotten the white.

Slight edge to black for the more sporty look.

I see more white ones, although I also see the black ones too. White predominates though.

Pick up a black dial at the AD, I wanted white. But I took what I could get for retail. Seems like all my watches have black dials, would like to have a little change in my collection.
