Daytona 6263 black vs white (silver)

Hi,

I’m kinda new here and been debating between 6263 black or white dial.
Can you guys give me suggest?

Thank you,
New bee

The color is a personal preference, but condition should be the most important factor.

I've owned both, and I prefer the white/silver, but especially when the dial is more of the cream/ivory type from the late '70s, not as silvery like some of the dials. Just seems to pop more and have a more "vintage" vibe, but the black version is beautiful too. Completely subjective.

Absolutely this. Cream/ivory is totally bewitching in person, but hard to capture in photos.

I prefer my silver 6263 of all options, but it’s really personal preference. I also index on the condition aspect as most important.

Both great...but when it came down to it the white/silver stood out to me more. But I can totally see me being very happy with either in retrospect. Recently I was reminded how sleek and small the watch wears when I had it on.

As the others have said, condition above all.
I went with the black, and if I had to do it again, I’d still go black.
You can’t go wrong with either, good luck!

As long as you focus on buying the best condition within your budget, there's really not a wrong way to go. All of the 6263 big red variants are beauties.

Once you go black, you never go back.
