Hi, I know that Daytona is hot, spec. in Asia (HK, China, Japan....).

The black dial Daytona is more expensive than the white one there.

But, which one is the most classic one?

Which one will you buy?

VESUVIO · 7 January 2008, 07:11 PM

I prefer the white dial.

If I was in the market for a Daytona then you could put me down for a white dial version.

jdH · 7 January 2008, 08:14 PM

asians prefer black dial. Westerns prefer white (i guess)

walds11 · 7 January 2008, 08:19 PM

Slight edge to black for me. Or whichever one I could get at MSRP first :)

scottschoe · 7 January 2008, 08:24 PM

I'll take a black-dial please.

htoddf · 7 January 2008, 08:34 PM

Black and White! Depends what you watches you have. They both are very nice

Robb · 7 January 2008, 09:13 PM

I had the choice but I asked for black first!! It seemed more rare at the time!

Felly Jr. · 7 January 2008, 09:22 PM

Although I would dearly love to own both, my preference goes to the white dial. The way things are going, trying to own both could end up being a lifelong endeavor!

Had a black face Submariner, and GMT for 17 years, finally made a big splash to a s/g Yachtmaster white face, wow loved it so much that I ordered a s/s daytona, when it came up had the choice of both, took the white face, and love it!

easy to read, most stop watches are white face for easy reading!
also found that I had to wipe black face modells constantly for fingerprints on glass,
even now after having the chance to get another daytona would take white face again, looks so much clearer and cleaner.

Gaijin · 7 January 2008, 10:56 PM

White dial for me too.

SPACE-DWELLER · 7 January 2008, 10:58 PM

I think BOTH are classic, and it is a matter of personal opinion which one is most "classic" and beautiful.

I for my part like the White Face Cos best.

Stef_Call · 7 January 2008, 11:03 PM

I like both !! I asked for a white dial because my GMT had a black one. Nice to have a change of dial colour now and again :)

Same thing here!

The SS GMT IIc and SS White Cos are SO different watches, altogether, and the white dial of the SS Daytona adds to this totally different look.

slojoh · 7 January 2008, 11:06 PM

black dial for me.

Craig321Rolex · 7 January 2008, 11:09 PM

I'm on numerous waiting lists in 4 countries, I'd take either but would prefer the black one. But I will not pay over the MSRP.

Stratton · 7 January 2008, 11:34 PM

Black.

Tobyone · 8 January 2008, 01:16 AM

black dial

pnefan · 8 January 2008, 01:19 AM

Black Dial for me

frostie · 8 January 2008, 01:20 AM

White dial for me. I think that the black dial is hard to read

RolexSoFla · 8 January 2008, 01:49 AM

koronet-kid · 8 January 2008, 01:55 AM

BLACK. IMHO sport/professional watches should have a black dial. But if I was offered any steel daytona i would take it.

regards kk

BuffaloRolex · 8 January 2008, 02:00 AM

I like both as well, but hope to obtain the white dial version. Not only to I think it looks cleaner, but also a bit dressier than the black version. Plus the TT Blue Sub will be a darker face, so I'd like a little contrast between the two.

pilapandet · 8 January 2008, 03:40 AM

I made a difficult choice just over a month ago when AD called between black and white. I wanted both but end up with a black only.

Welshwatchman · 8 January 2008, 04:46 AM

I'm undecided so I will hold out for a grey dial.

steelers · 8 January 2008, 04:57 AM

I will have to go with the black face!

Randy · 8 January 2008, 09:06 AM

White is easier to read, black is my choice!

JohnEaton · 8 January 2008, 09:37 AM

White Dial... I have several others (non-Daytona) with black dials. But I may go for a black dial 116520 later and maybe a blue face Sub.

Still waiting for my Milgauss
