Unique&beautiful!

I already have a white 116500, so I'd go black. The red accents seem to pop more on the black dial as well.

Looks great on that strap. Is that a rubber B?

I’ve put in my name for a panda dial…with two other black dial watches the panda is the right call. Now it’s just time to wait!

Tudor Chrono: Black or white?

I prefer the white dial Daytona over the black dial Daytona and it’s not even close.

However, I’m not sure which of these Tudors I prefer. I like the black dial as much as the white dial.

If I had to choose, I guess it would make sense to get the white dial since I already have a black dial Speedmaster.

I’m not getting another chrono anyway. Just throwing my 2 cents in…

On the Tudor I'd go for the White..

But if it was a Daytona then a Black.

However if I was offered a White Daytona at Mrrp then I could be persuaded

It's a rubber strap from AliExpress!

Fits perfectly and comes with a deployant clasp. Rubber is good quality too. All for less than £20 delivered with tax.

The hands are mirror polished, so they will reflect. I don't have a proven with reading the time, as any movement shows on the hands reflections. Sure it isn't as easy to read as the black but it's no way as hard to read as people make out. In natural surrounds and not under a store lights, it's not a problem at all.

Tried this one on the day it was released I absolutely loved it, never enjoyed a Tudor before I tried this one on.

Passed because I wanted to buy a datejust instead.

White for me. Or even better, one of the old Big Block chronos that inspired these.

Wish there was a cyclops over that six o'clock date like the old Monte Carlos...

I'll take white, thank you. Black is so common for chronographs.

I went with black dial.
I don’t like the fact that the color of date wheel doesn’t match the dial!
But it’s a very nice piece!

I would have to answer your question of black or white with one word..... Yes get both!
