Icon20 Dayton TT - White Dial or Grey Dial?? Your views please

Please help me in making the decision: Daytona two-tone white dial or grey dial? I know everybody has their own preferences but I am a little confused and am curious to see what people like. Thanks.

Out of those, the white dial, but if I was buying a TT Daytona, I'd get the blue Arabic. A truly stunning and beautiful dial in the flesh

I'm feeling the same way. I always liked the white face until I saw the grey one at the AD. I'm having a time trying to decide. I like the grey because you don't see very many out and about. We we'll see what I decide.

Seen the grey dial and white dial side by side at my AD's.

The grey dial wins by a mile!!

That's great to know JJ because my AD only has a grey one in stock, so nothing is there to compare it to.

Grey, but also consider the white chronocentric.

The TT with the slate dial is a great combination.

I bought the "rhodium"dial a year ago and am still in love with it. Is it silver? is it white? is it grey? is it slate? All I can say is its truly beautiful in the flesh. Pictures do no do it justice.

Slate gray

The slate gray Daytona dial is a perfect match to the brushed stainless steel links in the bracelet.
It gets my vote by a wide margin.

I just bought a black dial TT but that is not an option here. Out of the two choices, I'd pick grey.

On YG or SS... white, well there is not grey in SS right now anyway... But in TT, grey/slate looks nicer. I do not know why, but I saw one in the flesh, and the combo looks good. Have not seen the blue dial though.
