I have the white and am very pleased with the look. Yet the black is very handsome. I like tne way the white dial pops off your wrist. Either way a pretty decent watch....hahah.

I love both for different reasons. I took the black first because it put me higher on the list, but am now in line for the white.

I'd go with the white dial. I think it'd be easier to read, plus I've got a lot of black dials.

Definitely white. There are lots of beautiful black dialed sports models, but the Daytona in white is special.

Black all day, as I find it more versatile. Would love the white if it was a true Panda...

White dial for sure. The contract of white w black bezel really makes the watch pop.

Since I have a collection and good rotation of watches, I don't really need the versatility, and simply put I just find the white to be more fun.



Hi is your daytona on the oyster flex strap? It looks awesome, did you have any issues with fitment please?

Thanks in advance

I passed on a black — white was my first choice. Soon enough, the white showed up. I’m glad I went with my instinct and not with what was available first.

White for me because of the black rings on the sub dials. If the black dial had white instead of silver sub dials then I might consider it.

White for me, the contrast is more appealing to me than the black dial.

White ceramic. No contest for me - it has more of a vintage vibe with the ceramic bezel and is far more legible. I flipped my black Daytona as it was a struggle to read the dial.

White 50.1%
Black 49.9%

I got white dial first then 8 months later I got black.

Love them both!

I wear white more because 0.1% more special because it is the one I wanted for years back before ceramic SS

I bought the white dial. Just looks better to me vs the black dial.

I own the black one. White was never an option for me. I don´t like white dials they don´t match with my skin color.

I prefer the white. The dial is new, it is more legible. The black dial is the same as the older one, Rolex just placed a ceramic bezel.

I would choose the black dial cause it's the cheaper one, also the white one looks a bit toyish to me.

Not exactly as the sub dial rings are different. Yes close but no not the same as old dial.

White dial as it has the most contrast and pop to me.

I had originally chosen the black as my favorite based on pictures. However, having seen them in person, the white is the more dynamic of the two. From what I've seen, the black comes off as having a little too much shine to it, while the white really gives a great contrast with the bezel and subdials.

It pains me to say, as the white is harder to get, but it's the one I really want.

I didn't know that. I'd be interested in knowing if the subdial rings are less reflective than the previous generation or if they're different in another way?

White is smarter. Black more casual. If the white was less stark and the sub dials were black instead of black-ringed, then it might be different. Black wins.
