Both are awesome but I still prefer white from the pics.

If pics are taken from a distance the watch looks so small. In fairness I have been looking at AP ROO pics for the last half hour.

So in certain lighting conditions the bezel looks glossy silver...



....and in other lighting conditions the bezel looks deep black.

I've been down this road with other watches, this is going to be a problem for those who just want a black bezel/white dial Panda. I've avoided the current Daytona because I didn't like the non-contrast bezel, looks like the C is middle-of-the-road, can't commit either way.

So in essence, buy a different Rolex if you want to wear something before winter of 2017.

Will they release this new Daytona in PM versions, too, around 2017-18? Eventually they will, I think. This black ceramic bezel will look good in gold, either white or yellow.
