Do I keep the Black or the White??

I've got to make a decision, do I keep the black or white Daytona?

I'm 90% certain im keeping the black but your opinions would be helpful to get this to 100% or contemplate the white?

Considering your white faced Darejust, I think the Black should stay.

I don't have any white faced watches, so Personally I would go for the white, both great watches though

I've always thought the white dial looks open bright gleaming on this watch- black dial looks closed, small hard to read, does nothing for it. Excellent chance to acquire a white dialed Rolex as so many classics have black and look much better anyway.
