SS Daytona: Black or White?

[Markg]

what does everyone like best on the SS Daytona: the black dial or white dial?

[frostie]

Hmm i remember i made the same thread sometime ago and i am still tempted by both of the dials

I remember that i voted for the white one and i am going to vote for it again cause i allready have a watch with a black dial

[tazzy1]

I like both but have black. I lean towards the darker dials not just on Daytonas

[BiG JeEzY]

I really love the look of the Daytona in the white dial.

It is very sharp and clean looking. Plus white makes the watch appear to look larger imo.

This poll will end like the several similar ones before it. The White Dial will win by a margin of two to one.

White Dial!

[Hamilton Carvalho]

I would be happy with either one.

[watchlady]

I think the white dial has a better look.

[CPCC]

Black dial is less produced and more rare.

[JJ Irani]

Both are nice.....but....

BLACK - more dressy!!

WHITE - more sporty!!

I carried a similar poll about a month ago and the answer came back as white.
Having now seen both dials in the flesh so to speak I prefer the black dial.
But I still believe that most people choose the white dial, as they may already have got a black dialled watch.
Some say that the white dial is more easier to read then the black,but I have my doubts.
I would like to be in a position to put either claim to the test

I like white dials on a Rolex.

[Trurolexer]

Honestly I like white dial, looking more nice. But if you life in Asia area, the black dial more good in the market than white dial. So I prefer....WHITE...Still!!!

Well if you are talking about the proper Daytona and thats the vintage ones like say the 6263, then it would be white dial black subs.If you are talking about the modern S,Steel then neither, although I much prefer the Zenith dial,but IMHO the TT is a much better looking watch and better looking dial.

[walds11]

Slight edge to the black dial for the more sporty look.

[pnefan]

I voted for the Black Dial as it was the watch I'd always wanted

But now the white is starting to grow on me.

Either way, you can't go wrong with a Daytona

Interesting view from JJ. I also like both but I think the White is more dressy and the Black more sporty (?).

Is this a northern / southern hemisphere thing?

Here's a picture of my White Steel Zenith. I would like a black to go with it but not sure that will happen..

Well, I have seen both in person....and found the black dial to be very attractive....something which would go well with a tux, suit or even jeans.

For evening wear, given the choice between just the white or black Daytona, I would definitely choose black!!

I am inclined towards the black dial a tad more than the white one.

[Welshwatchman]

Yes.

Black and white, or is that white and black

[padi56]

Got to agree with you there Paul the real Daytona's and IMO if the modern Daytona had a black type 6263 bezel rather than the steel one again it would improve the look.

[vukotab]

Well,since I bought white Expy some three years ago I prefer white dials on watches.Now I have black dial OP Date,and I still prefer the white ones.

[ratmotortom]

I bought the white dial, but would not have passed up the black.

[Letsgodiving]

I prefer the look of the black but if I had a couple of black dial Rolex I might go for the white to change it up a little.

[timackerman]

I prefer the look of the white dial
