There are rumors in some countries especially asia that the black face of daytona is more expensive than the white face....

Please share your choice of color face for a daytona and tell us where you from....

1. White Face - Philippines

forza1976 · 17 July 2009, 02:26 PM

White - USA (Prices were the same for both models in Colorado)

DanP · 17 July 2009, 02:28 PM

White Face here- Vancouver B.C Canada
Same price for both. I was at the Ad today browsing and they had both

allanofcalifornia · 17 July 2009, 02:33 PM

Same price for both but the white dial seems harder to find new and pre-owned.

Allan

Matrim604 · 17 July 2009, 04:38 PM

White face also from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Gaijin · 17 July 2009, 04:39 PM

I have both and yes the black dial is more expensive in Japan.

sandy007robb · 17 July 2009, 05:12 PM

White face - Scotland

Both the same price

therolexguy · 18 July 2009, 05:07 AM

Did somebody say "White face"?

sirjohnbrian · 18 July 2009, 05:37 AM

White from the great state of Pennsylvania.

clubbyjones · 18 July 2009, 08:38 AM

This sounds crazy, but I swear the one that you THINK sells for more is the one you don't have. There was a poll on TZ and it was literally half and half for who preferred white to black. You will have no problems selling an SS daytona at the market price, that is for sure!

SLS · 18 July 2009, 10:10 AM

USA, white dial, both were available at MSRP.

Black in Australia

. I prefer the old white with Zenith Mvt.

The new one in black.

But then again I love all Daytona

Bisquitlips · 18 July 2009, 10:19 AM

They are the same price in Missouri.

how bout 2 toned daytona?

Sirowhite · 24 July 2009, 06:34 PM

Black face in HK...slightly expensive than white face.....b'coz very high demand...

Singslinger · 24 July 2009, 07:32 PM

I prefer the white dial but the black is perceived to be more rare in Singapore and so commands a slight premium (roughly the cost of a dial replacement).

i prefer the white. just picked one up a few weeks ago. i'd like to have the black also but between the two i like the white. they both seem to be going for $9925 here in the states and are becoming more "available" in AD's.

X2! 1,000$ more

rescue7 · 26 July 2009, 06:50 AM

My "M" series came with the white dial but Tasos aka Tempoking got me a black dial with extra hands that gets changed every few months by a watch tech friend of mine.

The tech was sending back a "Z" series black dial and by some freak occurence it was my dial that went back and I ended up with a newer one, just hate when that happens.

Watch Fan · 26 July 2009, 07:09 AM

I had a choise of either at list in California. Tried them both on and took the black.

Me too, but I love the black bezel on the vintage ones. Just don't care for the shiny bezel. The painted bezel sets off the face, white or black.

roach7 · 15 August 2009, 09:22 PM

I like the white better.

jglassjr · 16 August 2009, 02:04 AM

black face........ texas

mb hawaii · 16 August 2009, 02:31 AM

For HK and China white can mean working hard and not making money. Also the color of mourning. That's why black is prefered. Superstitions determine color preferences there. I'm chinese, born in U.S. and if I'm on the fence with color I will lean toward the superstition.

dardeca · 16 August 2009, 03:48 AM

Black dial! I've owned both and actually sold the white dial so I could buy the black. To me, the black dial just looks so much better.

vukotab · 16 August 2009, 04:18 AM

I have a thing with white face watches!
So, my vote goes for WHITE!
