No wrong answers here. I voted for the white D500, but they're all winners.

Ceramic Black for me. The black dial compliments the black bezel making it look ourstanding.

Black ceramic version has better legibility than white. That is for sure. The black dial is also hot ! I can see why demand is so crazy.

I was never a huge fan of the Daytona until the new ceramic version. It brings to mind the best looking of all Daytonas - the 6263 - and has a much more sports look than the steel-bezeled 16520 and 116520s.

Have to vote 116500!

Tough call. All of them are absolutely beautiful, but I picked white dial 16520 in the end. Was very close to choosing the 116500

I would go with the 16520 white dial, simply because in 20 years it will be worth the most and I think Daytona's look best with white dials.

My man, you can't call it a Dayto, there already is the big dog Dato out there.

I love the D500 white, it's second only to my LVc.

Yep, I feel the same. Always preferred the vintage black bezel daytonas, and finally the new one feels like an update to that. The tough choice for me would be the 116500 or the 116519LN WG ceramic.

I voted white 16520 as I like it the most and is the rarest. I also own 116520 and 116500 for what it's worth.
The white 116500 is FAR easier to read the time on than the black 116500 and the dial is nicer so I can see why more people prefer it and why it caries a premium.
