White would be my choice. I am on "the list" at my AD and I'm sure when he calls I won't be as fortunate as you to have a choice. Either way, I'm sure you'll be happy. Enjoy!

I’ll take any color , maybe white
But I’d rather go for any other Rolex model
Daytona’s and yachtmasters are butt ugly in my humble opinion

I have zero chance to buy Daytona C from my local ADs. They all told me they stopped putting names on waitlist (probably lies, I guess there are way too many high rollers in Vancouver). My buddy travels all over the world for work and I told him to look at the airport ADs for me. Hopefully I can post pics soon.

I am in such a fortunate situation that I have a possibility to choose between the white and black dial version. I went in today to try both on but honestly speaking I could not make up my mind either way. I love the black rims around the sub dials on the white version but also like the homogen black colour of the dial & bezel on the black version. Also as I wear the SD43 and a YMII on a daily basis I am used to bigger watches, so whichever of the 2 appears bigger is also a factor for me to consider.
Any thoughts to help me decide are much appreciated.
Thanks, Adam
Black all day.

No contest - white dial for me. It is at its most iconic form in white.

I have both. Got white first than 1.5 yrs later black. Although I love both, I would easily pick White over Black if I had to, no contest. The contrast is so much better on white; although I can read the time easily on the Black I can see why some people find it hard.

I will say that the white seems to be easier to tell what time it is when it’s late and my 53 year old eyes are tired!

White looks so perfect so I'll actually prefer it over black but that doesn’t mean black doesn’t look good too, its just a matter of choice.
