On photos white looks better but in person black is ahead by a mile. Black dial and polished bezel combination looks awesome. However, on the white one it is much easier to read the time.

I always loved the white dial on the SS Daytona. It would be my pick :)

Black dial for the win! Of course, IMHO.

Agreed , the black has a rich robust look to it and definatley an eye catcher in shopping malls and grocery stores

That depends who you ask. It is time proven fact on this forum:
10 people=10 different opinions.

Try them both on-at the same time and make QUICK decision. You must go by the first impression, otherwise you may end up buying wrong watch.
Good luck!

Bob

Oh, by the way I voted for the White one.

I don't have a Daytona...but if I ever got one, it would likely be a white one on stainless. I love my Omega Speedmaster Pro, so that might be enough for Chronographs for me.

I have both and I prefer the White for readablity. However the Black is just super classy. I voted I can't live without both.

By the way historically in all of the previous polls White has always come out ahead.

In Asia however the Black is much preferred and even sold at a premium over White.

Im in love with White Daytonas. It may look good next to my black Sub someday. Maybe, if I could ever part the Sub from my wrist.

Hmm, I think white doesn't look so good in photos, but looks way better than black in the flesh!
