They both look pretty good to me, but the only way to authenticate them is to take them to an AD and pop the backs off. The black with the paper should be good to go as long as the numbers match.

IMO I'd say both, but honestly sometimes I can't even make up my mind which color I like best.

This one's in your court Oscar.

The time is more legible on a white dial but it could be that black is less common.

The black one looks a little fishy, maybe its the picture, but the marker's seem wrong and the hour and minute hands look short. bahh dont listen to me, have the one you choose checked out at an AD for sure. by the way I like black better.

How much are they? That might also be an indicator of a scam, but certainly no substitute for AD verification.

I have a white ss Daytona, this one looks the same....looks legit. But once again the only way to know is to look at the movement.....
White for me.

I have a black ss daytona and while in the photo the hands appear to be short (particularly the second hand), I think its because the tips of the hands are black and they are blending into the face.

I obviously prefer the black, seems more formal to me.

They both seem o.k, however they both look as if they have been polished at least once or twice.

Buy the seller. Photo authentication is worthless IMO.
