Simple really, in the flesh, which steel Daytona 116500 between the black & the white “POPS” more?

Looking for pics, thoughts & feeback.

travisb · 26 November 2018, 08:08 PM

Definitely the white when it comes to pop.
The black is more stealth which I prefer.

Neither they are both just watches to tell the time just like any other watch, and they do not pop if you want pop buy some popcorn.

Pop, soda, soft drink... the debate will never end.

Black is more stealth. White is more noticeable.

I voted black as the underdog.

White pops

42itus · 26 November 2018, 08:45 PM

I think the subdials on the black make it pop a little more. But I prefer the white.

I think the white if you wear it on a bracelet

I think the black if you wear it with end links and rubber. Its really sexy that way

And white popcorn is better than black popcorn.

The white stands out on the wrist but complements well with the ceramic bezel to not be too flashy. The black definitely hides under the radar and has a subdued look and can often be easier to read with the white gold hands and black background.

brandrea · 26 November 2018, 09:51 PM

White for sure

1William · 26 November 2018, 09:57 PM

The white dial stands out for sure.

brucethemanlee · 26 November 2018, 10:26 PM

White pops for me and my go to watch 3-4 days a week. Black ifi want to be less out there (that said it's still a Daytona and is noticed regardless)

I own them both and was obsessed with figuring out the answering to this question during the first few weeks that I had them both.
Answer: with the lights shining down, hands down the white.
But there is also something so sexy/cool about the black on black combo that the white dial doesn't quite have.

Hard_Six · 26 November 2018, 11:09 PM

I think the white has more pop

JPS · 27 November 2018, 06:07 AM

Exactly what I thought

Yes indeed.

As for the topic, ceramic+white dial is more contrast.

A mulberry bush, a monkey, and a weasel will work as well, guaranteed!!!.

Robertolewis · 27 November 2018, 08:30 AM

No question, had the black, sold, got the white, its money!

broham84 · 27 November 2018, 08:50 AM

Aesthetically speaking black is much better looking. Silver, black, white and a hint of red is just one too many color.

Had both at the same time, sold the white. Tbh, never understood the hype, it's not really a 'panda'.

JPS · 27 November 2018, 10:37 PM

Thanks all

Manu74 · 27 November 2018, 11:28 PM

White!

stylinleems · 27 November 2018, 11:29 PM

White pops more. As others have said, black is more stealthy.

Chester01 · 27 November 2018, 11:39 PM

The white version. I have the older version with the white dial and have my issues with it. I was thinking of trading it in for the new version until I saw it in the metal. The white on black is very stark, almost too stark bordering on jarring for me and not integrated. The black dial version is more harmonious so to speak and in my humble opinion the better of the ceramic versions unless we are talking gold versions.

Boaters · 28 November 2018, 12:16 AM

White for sure it really pops

ahlee00023 · 28 November 2018, 01:10 AM

The black dial looks very slick, but there's something about that white dial. I don't know if it's pop, but I do know it's beautiful.

The White has more instant appeal - which fades whereas the Black is more of a ‘slow burner’ that keeps getting better.... so Black in the long term has more ‘pop’ in my humble option.
