I think the black has better contrast and would be easier to read. I'd keep the black.

I would keep the black and get a Explorer II with a white dial or even better a YM II. Cheers.....🍻🍻

Black makes perfect sense especially considering the beautiful white dialed DJ you own.

I'd keep the white, since the Daytona wears a little smaller! the white just looks a little bit larger to my eye.
Tough choice....... |

Can I ask why you have bought two stainless steel Daytona's? Why not just but a new dial?
Also my vote goes to white as it's new and looks great with the new blue lume! |

I needed to see them in person side by side and it's easy to trade a Daytona so I bought both to be 100% sure , now I'm selling the brand new white dial with stickers on in the for sale section.

So you spent £7950 just to see them side by side? Is the black brand new as well? Apparently Rolex allow you to change dial for free in the first 3 months of buying one

The black is the greatest looking chrono I've ever seen in my life. Makes me want to scream.

Whilst I'm happy with the black I am looking to get the best of both worlds and get this fitted with red sub dial hands:
I will of course keep the black dial and hands and if and when I fancy changing back to the black dial I'll have my watchmaker do it!

As above I'm getting a white panda dial and keeping the black so I can do 6 months of each with just the one watch, problem solved

Gary, congratulations on your new watch. As much as I prefer the white, I agree having the black would add some variety round to your collection so far. I have 1 white dial and 1 black dial..I won't repeat the colours. These watches aren't cheap.
Enjoy! |
