Daytona C black dial:
Do you think the subdials look better in silver or would you have preferred white?

I really like the contrast of the black subdials on the white dial version of the Daytona C and I don't get why Rolex decided not to go with white subdials on the black dial version, I think it would have looked incredible.

What do you think?

I wish they would have given the Ceramic Daytona the full on Newman panda treatment. :D

The black rings on the white face are the next best thing.

IMO white rings on the subdials of the black face Daytona would have been better than the silver.

Michael N Q8 · 30 October 2016, 03:21 PM

I prefer the way it is now, silver rings.

japenney · 30 October 2016, 03:35 PM

Would prefer white rings for more contrast.

HL65 · 30 October 2016, 07:18 PM

Love the watch the way it is. White would have taken away from the stealth look IMHO.

GolfPunk · 30 October 2016, 07:35 PM

It would have made the watch look cheaper with white sub dials.

x2.
I think white would have given it more of a sporty look where as the silver keeps it a bit toned down.

I like the panda and reverse panda look best too.

Can you explain this? Just want to see your train of thought.

brandrea · 30 October 2016, 09:59 PM

As is here, it's the perfect update!

Racerdj · 30 October 2016, 10:01 PM

Perfect as manufactured!

No, I love the way the matte silver rings play with the color spectrum.

I think the black dial with white sub dials wouldn't look as classy as it does now

I like the new black ceramic the way it currently is but will say I have a hard time reading my
116520 black face. Was wanting the white face ceramic but not so sure now. I love the overall darkness of the black ceramic. Hope when I choose, it will be viewing both at the same time to compare, just don't think it will occur.

brucethemanlee · 30 October 2016, 10:47 PM

as it with silver

It's one of the few watches I can honestly say I wouldn't change one thing about it.

i have only seen the white dial version in person…
looking forward to seeing the black dial live and having a first hand perspective…

leaning toward the black dial between the two because i would simply prefer a black dial,
just considering what could have been

BNA/LION · 31 October 2016, 05:24 AM

I would have preferred the subdials in ALL white. Look more like the PN Daytona White!
