I prefer the black but I already have a black dial ROLEX, my GMT II. When the time for decision comes I'll have to give it a good thought. So, I'm still unsure....

RJC · 25 January 2010, 10:27 PM

This thread's almost two years old! I really do hope he's decided by now.

chinese boy109 · 28 January 2010, 10:35 AM

but i havn't decided 呵呵

nyfida · 28 January 2010, 12:26 PM

I like the white dial here but I am trying to decide between TT or SS.

Watch Fan · 28 January 2010, 05:20 PM

I had a choise too and went with black.

Hey, Lunar New Year coming soon, have you rearranged the furniture according to fung shui? It's better to worry about how to finance your next Rolex

White Daytona is so crisp and sharp. Too many black Daytona in Hong Kong, in slums Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po even. Saturated, like Subdate 16610. That said, it is best to buy BOTH

Black for me even the price is more expensive by almost $1000.

Nairn1980 · 30 January 2010, 03:14 AM

you STILL havent decided?
I made a choice in 10 mins and love mine!

Don't analyse it too much just go and buy one!!!!!!

agtman99 · 5 February 2010, 11:49 AM

I had an Explorer II (white dial) & a GMT master II (black dial). I decided to trade in the Explorer II ($3K) toward my Grail - 116519 with MOP dial on a brown croc strap ......

ctc1010 · 5 February 2010, 12:01 PM

I think for SS the black dial looks better, whereas for TT the white dial looks better. Then again, I'd be happy with any combination!

pistol · 5 February 2010, 12:33 PM

Both are great looking watches but I think white face is more classic. I own a SS Daytona White and couldn't be happier. Enjoy sir

It depends if you have others in your collection. Almost all other Rolex sports models come in black dial so if you plan on having a Daytona +1 then get white. If the Daytona is your only Rolex, get black for sure.

I purchased my Daytona first, so I didn't have a black Rolex prior... But for sure now I would have taken white to compliment my GMT2 and Millie. You see what I mean?

submariner16610 · 7 February 2010, 05:12 AM

Gaijin · 7 February 2010, 12:09 PM

I own both, but gotta say the White is my favorite, even in Black Dial obssesed Japan.

I dont know if you are doing it without thinking or something...

Best to stick to English, then we can all understand..

And I mean that all in the most respectful way possible :)

NathanielA · 13 March 2010, 06:30 PM

I agree, matter of taste. My European friends say the black dial is more popular there... and it seems like the white is more popular here... but, heck, either one is gorgeous.

I think the black dial with the later model "fat hands" is quite readable. Just my humble opinion.

oztimelord · 13 March 2010, 08:45 PM

Best to get them all

.

Prefer 116520 in black and 16520 in white.

They are all perfect

and so cool

gone-rolex-mad · 14 March 2010, 12:49 AM

wow looks like the whit dial is way out ahead

Roselló · 14 March 2010, 12:53 AM

WHITE.

Nairn1980 · 14 March 2010, 01:01 AM

Got to be White Face....really like it :)

marie · 14 March 2010, 03:32 AM

I like the white better.

SLA · 14 March 2010, 03:45 AM

I had a choice, went with black but it was a close decision.

Eric89 · 14 March 2010, 03:48 AM

Definitly black dial, the white dials in generally dont really do it for me. The black dial daytona on the other hand, to me, is really stunning.
