I went for the 002 which is black

Amex4711 · 31 July 2017, 05:53 PM

white for me

Busyboy · 31 July 2017, 05:56 PM

My names down on black

I think people just buy what ever they get offered tho, safe in the knowledge a profit in the grey market of £3-4k is laying waiting. Probably get £500 more for a white

I honestly just think the "contrast" is too great, black is easier on the eye - handsome

Simon_e · 31 July 2017, 05:56 PM

I had the choice of either at list price and I took the white one, I thought the dial was a great contrast.

sager · 31 July 2017, 07:10 PM

Definitely white!

I agree, I have both. I had the choice of white or black, but I really prefer the black 500.

1William · 31 July 2017, 08:46 PM

I prefer the white dial but the black dial is a strong second.

Ruud Van Driver · 31 July 2017, 08:48 PM

Neither for me, I'm afraid. If I had to choose one though, it would be the black.

brandrea · 31 July 2017, 09:12 PM

I'm not really a chrono guy, but in this case I'd go white.

IMO the sub dials are a more interesting contrast and it's easier to read.

AK797 · 31 July 2017, 10:26 PM

White, esp if you're on the fence as there are so many nice black dial Rolexes.

dr35mm · 31 July 2017, 10:42 PM

The beauty of SS Daytona is that there's no wrong choice.

strafer_kid · 31 July 2017, 10:57 PM

Gotta be white!

ranxoren · 31 July 2017, 10:59 PM

I picked white even though I had the option to get black sooner.

sea-dweller · 1 August 2017, 02:40 AM

White.

Does the OP have that much time to think about it? Unless he put deposit down on both watches...

ap1 · 1 August 2017, 04:27 AM

Slight win to white. I took black as that's the only choice I was given at the time

Toivonen · 1 August 2017, 04:31 AM

116500 In White = one of the most beautiful Daytonas ever

Kevan · 1 August 2017, 06:01 AM

Voted white.....

Manse1001 · 1 August 2017, 06:01 AM

Both are beautiful but my personal preference would be White. However, if I was lucky enough to stumble across one in an AD I'd take either!!!

No regrets.

MCO1 · 1 August 2017, 07:30 AM

I have white and finally saw a black one in a London shop window. The black was beautiful indeed and I would be happy to wear one but still very much enjoy my white one.

Me too! Every time somebody says "no regrets" now I can't help but think of that.

Well you had very good reason.

richard371 · 1 August 2017, 12:24 PM

I went white. I can certainly see the desire for either. No wrong choice.

gtnator · 1 August 2017, 12:33 PM

As others have said, they are both awesome. Black looks sleek and cool, but white looks kind of vintage and pops.
