the best color is the one you like best. No point in getting the crowd favorite (blue) if its not also your favorite.

For unknown reason, blue and champaign are my least fav. Love white and black equally. Personally own white.

most sought after is BLUE, then Black, then white. that's just my guess based on the waiting list of the dealers that I have talked to.

Look at the resales and market will tell you everything, esp if you are viewing this as a stock now.

I've heard the same from ADs. if you want a blue next year, look towards the end of 2018, be a good customer, or shop around. If you're after black or white, Spring/Summer.

I like white, then black, then blue. I think they are all stunning.

There is no right or wrong answer, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.If you don't like the colour, dont bet the next customer wont either...sometimes a colour grows on you over time...

The pictures of the white face do not do the watch justice. It's fantastic in person.

Most sought after appears to be the blue dial. The best color dial is the one you like best.

I have tried on all three dial colors and personally like the black and white dial over the blue dial. I own a white dial.

This is the most popular but that's only an issue if you're flipping it. Ultimately it makes most sense to buy what your eye likes the most.

I picked up the black and I absolutely love it. I originally thought I wanted the blue but when I saw the black in person I jumped on it. I'm still on the waiting list for the blue. My AD said the waiting list for the blue is the longest of the three and that they have not received as many in blue as they have in black or white.

I would take the blue or the black. It is such a personal choice however I just like darker dials.

I like all three colors and think that white is the most versatile followed by black and then blue.

I had initially thought I would try to get a black dial just because it seems so elegant and dressy. However, after thinking about it in terms of my collection, and what would make me choose one over another on a particular day, occasion, etcetera, I think I have decided on white.

I have a black ceramic Daytona, black milgauss with plain crystal, and a z blue milgauss. So to me it makes sense to look for it either a white or silver dial peace next.

Amazingly, my AD is getting one in and should have either today or tomorrow.

I guess I'm lucky at 65 to not need glasses for any normal use of my eyes.

Clearly I don't proof read very well. Changed my post to correct the typo from "luck" to "lucky." Legibility hasn't prevented people from buying Daytonas, has it? 50 is about when I had Lasik, fwiw.

Very true, and one of the reasons I wouldn't own one. I find the sub dials and small numeric indicators near impossible to read. Beautiful watch nonetheless
