Just got it in. When I first got my Daytona I was convinced the black was the way to go. Now, I’m not so sure. White looks great!

Congrats! So jealous. Didn't you recently get the LVc too? Must be a big spender.

coolaking · 26 January 2018, 03:20 AM

Cool! Had the opportunity to buy both and I chose white - preferred pics of the black but the white in person

yxc145 · 26 January 2018, 03:20 AM

NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding. Congratulations. how long did it take to get them?

Rexrod · 26 January 2018, 03:22 AM

Congrats!

Vipes · 26 January 2018, 03:23 AM

Best Rolex combo, IMO. Big congrats!

Rokoru · 26 January 2018, 03:24 AM

I love the white dial Daytona, it looks stunning!

brandrea · 26 January 2018, 03:24 AM

Well you e certainly covered your bases

Congratulations

Congrats

soaking.fused · 26 January 2018, 03:28 AM

That's a superb pickup. Looks amazing atop your wrist and congrats on your new Rolex.

cburgs56 · 26 January 2018, 03:28 AM

Congrats

BigJoe · 26 January 2018, 03:31 AM

White dial is best IMO because the hands are easier to see if nothing else. On the black face, especially in dim light, I couldn't see the hands to tell the time. So bad that I swapped dials from black to white on my (long gone) Daytona. But if you have young eyes that may not be a big deal...

Congrats on the new Daytona C, mine is still on order, hope it comes in soon.

SWISSAHOLICS · 26 January 2018, 03:40 AM

Congrats!!

Got the black Daytona back in August of 2017 offered to me no wait. A month later I asked for a white one. Just got it, so 5-6 months? Something like that.

Thanks, the white face looks much better in person, IMO.

They both look great. I have the white which I love and have been on the hunt for a black. Take the stickers off and enjoy that baby :)

wach16 · 26 January 2018, 03:48 AM

Nice pickup...white dial all the way for me

Both is best solution to the Daytona problem - especially in the 500 where both are perfect

rw2008 · 26 January 2018, 04:35 AM

Love my black dial, but the white is an absolute stunner

tonydjoh@gmail.com · 26 January 2018, 04:36 AM

White all the way..

I did the exact same thing. Black was by far my top pick. But after a little while White became my overwhelming favorite.

Mystro · 26 January 2018, 05:09 AM

In the pics, the white dial looks like it would be much more legible at a glance. Is that the case? Over all I see the white dial ='s sporty. Black dial ='s dressy.

Its been a long time since I had a Daytona and it was a TT Daytona with slate dial way back in the day(early 90's).

vladamir15 · 26 January 2018, 05:11 AM

Amazing duo!

TickTockChuck · 26 January 2018, 05:18 AM

Congratulations on your new DaytonaC. Looks like you're on a buying spree. Both black and white dials have their strengths. Wear them in good health. Cheers!

I think that is spot on.

I feel like the white can pull of sporty better, and maybe even pull off dressy better. At least for me. I hate wearing a solid black watch with a navy suit. So the white works much better in that scenario for me.

Happy with it that’s for sure. No more for me for the rest of the year.

Nice pair! I love the big baller tool kit in the background as well...

sensui · 26 January 2018, 06:04 AM

I really do love the white as the black didn't do it for me personally when I had it on my wrist. But somehow I sing a different tune for the 116520....go figure....different strokes for different folks. Congrats on grabbing both OP!

jrs146 · 26 January 2018, 06:06 AM

Congrats! I love my white. I’m still waiting for a black. But I have the feeling I’ll always love the white dial more

I see it the opposite way. Look at most classic dress watch dials (PP, VC, ALS, etc) - almost always white/light silver. Black is what's used on sport watches like Submariner, Speedmaster, etc.

The black dial version with the black bezel just looks mean. Much sportier.
