Pick the top 3 SS in comparison this video is a good one. It's nearly impossible to see all 3 SS at once.

I really like black dial watches so I will be going with the black Daytona in this case

I’d do white because it would blend in better with what I have, but black is really nice.

I find the white easier to read, so that’d be my pick

Black dial is gorgeous and I’m picking mine up next week. But, only reason I considered white dial is to offset my black sub.

They wear different enough despite both being black. You'll do great with a black Daytona.

Congrats in advance!

Love them both, in my opinion the white is arguably one the finest white faced watches I have ever seen.

I've got both........black is sexier and looks better on the wrist IMHO, but the white is easier to read

Definitely white for me. Black looks pretty sharp, but I really like the contrast of the white dial and the black ceramic bezel.

Would love to collect both over time, but I prefer the black ceramic.

Just a less sporty, more cohesive, and more versatile dial IMO.

So are you offered one or are you asking if you get offered one! Because strategy and choices can be totally different

I personally prefer the black dial 116500. It happens to be one of my favorite modern watches, and has had my name attached to it on the waiting list for about 2 years now.

I have enjoyed the white face 116520 for awhile now. Tried in a black face 116500 a few years ago. If I get another opportunity on a ceramic I would prefer a white face. Not really holdimg my breath on another Daytona. Recent changes to my eyesight have made me think of putting red hands on my wath to improve legibility.

I prefer black, but I'm not purchasing it. I can tell you I held both at the same time and preferred the black because the white appeared smaller. Both watches were too small for me, but the white really looked small. I'd try to see both if I were you. If you're ordering them blind over the internet, you'll always wonder how the other one would look. I would at least.
