Here we go again! Yay, I can't wait to see if the white dials are still the most popular! I voted black, however, because I prefer black subdials, or subdials darker than the remaining dial for readability. But those whites are so stunning and go well with the silver...

Good post

I like the look of the black dial but after trying it on for a few times over the past two years ... I still prefer the white on my wrist.

White for me but getting both white and black will be perfect.

I'm a white face fan, since I have a GMT II which has a black dial. Otherwise, I'd be in a big dillemma....

I usually prefer watch with black dial. But when comes to SS Daytona, white dial looks more class to me.

white is more photogenic, but black is way better in the flesh
