I've tried to stay away from complexities that I won't use (or can't see), and have plenty of non-Rolex chronos, yet I made the mistake of reading up on the 116500LN this weekend. I could be tempted. So, white or black in stainless?

I like the ceramic bezel a lot more than the look of the earlier Daytonas.

I'd go white. Good luck sourcing one at MSRP.

Yes on MSRP unless super lucky at duty free

adawil2002 · 31 July 2017, 10:18 AM

Bought the white Daytona 500 at MSRP.

MrInternational · 31 July 2017, 10:20 AM

I prefer the black dial, but I believe that most people like the white dial best. It probably means you have a slightly better chance at a black dial at MSRP. They are both great.

Had chance to try both, black was definitely the one for me

Pacheco · 31 July 2017, 10:32 AM

Black is the one I would pickup in a NY minute if I could find it at an AD.

viper · 31 July 2017, 10:34 AM

The black looks amazing in person. Haven't seen a white yet.

yxc145 · 31 July 2017, 10:41 AM

which dealer in Chicago did you find them? Are they still available?

I say white and I will take whichever you don't want.

Magwitch · 31 July 2017, 10:45 AM

I voted black. I have never seen a white one however. I was offered a black and was smitten.

SamP · 31 July 2017, 10:51 AM

White 520, but Black 500!
Waiting for black, not long now.
Regards

Not in Chicago...

Big Bill · 31 July 2017, 10:55 AM

I like the white dial to me it seems to look a little larger than the black. I don't think you can go wrong with either one they are both beautiful.

blackout · 31 July 2017, 11:11 AM

Black on Black

Jimbogigolo · 31 July 2017, 11:27 AM

I vote black- non biased vote since I have both at MSRP

I'm normally all about the black dial watches but hot diggity that white Daytona is something else.

dnpina · 31 July 2017, 12:28 PM

If you have a choice, White

White for ceramic, black for pre ceramic!

rf94111 · 31 July 2017, 02:00 PM

White for me. The contrast with the bezel is killer.

brmeyers · 31 July 2017, 02:19 PM

I owned and wore black for 8 months.
Might get white at some point.
Love both, black more versatile and dresses up easier IMO, white is a little more fun and sporty.

oldsalt · 31 July 2017, 02:28 PM

I've owned the white for a few months now, it hasn't really taken with me so it's time to move it on... sad..yes...but there you go.. I just don't love it enough to keep it.

cheers

Steve36Efc · 31 July 2017, 03:00 PM

Was never a Daytona fan until the ceramic bezel, I voted black which I think looks stunning.

armen34 · 31 July 2017, 03:05 PM

I hope when I get my chance the AD gives me the choice to try on both, and maybe I'll be even luckier if they let me buy both

Cru Jones · 31 July 2017, 03:08 PM

DCheeta · 31 July 2017, 03:17 PM

When they were announced I thought I would be all over the white, but once real-life photos and wrist shots started showing up here on TRF I fell in love with the black. It's on my wrist right now and I absolutely love it.

Tazmo · 31 July 2017, 03:23 PM

Both. Why settle for one? With two you can alternate!

I have two 116622s. Platinum and Dark Rhodium. Deciding between the two drove me nuts so I bought both

tig00s1783 · 31 July 2017, 03:37 PM

White all the way! I feel it just pops more

UnicoJG · 31 July 2017, 03:46 PM

I'm not a Daytona fan, however, I'd pick the white dial.

BNA/LION · 31 July 2017, 03:49 PM

White for me!
