Which Ceramic Daytona dial is more 'verasatile'?

I ask because I don't find my Mitsukoshi panda Speedy Pro to be as versatile as my other watches.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from current owners

I'm going to wear my white one with pretty much everything but a tux/dinner jacket. :)

Same if I had a black one.

I would say both are as versatile as anyone needs a watch to be. Black might have a slight edge but black and white can go with anything.

Both pretty versatile but I'd give the edge to white

I say black since it is more subdued.

if versatility is your main concern, i would go with a previous generation SS bezel.

Don't think dial colour makes that much difference on a 40mm watch.

Agree with others, "black goes with everything".

Black more versatile but prefer the white dial.

Black is less contrast and has a cleaner look, makes it more versatile to me.

Depends on the context and what you wear.

Personally, I'd pick the Platona due to its dial/bezel combo.

Depends what you like....

I have the white which basically goes with anything, when I saw the black it is obviously stunning bur I didn't personally like the sub dials. But lets be honest they are both the hottest pieces in the world at the moment...!!
Here is a comparison pic of both when I first saw them and then a quick pic of mine yesterday in the rain..!!
