It’s a great addition to the set. It adds a completely new dynamic to how I can wear these watches; different accessions, different feeling putting it on, heightened awareness of what’s on your wrist... it’s the same watch in many ways, however it’s a completely different watch in so many more ways. Go for the gold!!!!
Absolutely amazing watch sir, you’re wearing one of my dream watches... I’ll just have to be happy with my hulk for now lol

Have them both! Prefer the black but both work in a collection! They’re very different looks. To me the white photographs better but in the metal the black is amazing and real sporty.

I don't see why not. If it didn't work out, with its strong resale value, you could always trade it for one of the gold models.

If you can get it from Boutique/ADs, get both if you really like it.
If you have to get it from Greys, I wouldn't do it.
Yellow gold with green dial Daytona is one of the best looking watch. I plan to get it also.

How would you characterize the difference?

Of course there's room for more. The black one is my favorite. I picked up a WG last summer and the wife gives me the green light on a black one. ONLY IF I pay retail only. So the search contiunes.

If you have the funds, there's definitely room for both. I've owned both versions twice, and definitely prefer the black. (The hype over the white version baffles me.)

The good thing about having both at the same time is you'll know which one you like better, and if needed, perhaps sell one. It's what I did, and now I have only the black version.

Personally I wouldn’t, they are too similar. Another Daytona maybe but it’s got have a significant difference in look. Obviously my own humble opinion but I like to have choices for different occasions not choices for the same, if that makes sense

Agreed. Love the black one way more than the overhyped panda.
