Not a fan of the steel variants but between those 2 the black would be my choice. At ~$6000 less than the other, it would be a no brainer for me

In this situation, you have the opportunity to see both before making a decision. I would say pick the one which you like since you are pay good money for one. I like the black but many people seem to like the white. I don’t think an extra $5.6k is worth but many people will disagree.

I have both and I can tell you they are equally good looking. Before owning the black one I used to prefer the white based on pictures I saw online, but that changed the moment I saw the black one in the boutique.
Choose the one you like the most and in all cases you will be owning a great looking watch.

They are both beautiful watches but look quite different. I can’t help but think that with more reflection one would emerge as a clear favorite in your eyes if you look from more angles or additional criteria. Resale value is hard to predict but having to wear it isn’t so buy the one you want to wear today and enjoy.

You said you like them equally, so go for the cheaper black one for value. In terms of collectability, and worth in the future after discontinuation then it's the white Panda. Market price difference between dials always gives you indication which is more desirable or popular.

If the difference is $5600 between black and white I would pass at those prices at this point in time.

+1 for black. The white dial is better for Instagram photos, but in real life the black is more beautiful in my opinion and more versatile.

I’m a little confused. Didn’t you just buy the white dial last week?
At any rate, if you are torn between the two, it means you could go either way. If true, then save yourself some cash and go black. |

Black being there is that much of a difference.

I own both and was drawn to the white dial more prior to ownership. Now the black dial is my favorite. I would get the black dial, save the funds and start enjoying my watch.

This question has been discussed to death on many threads. The take away is: Never settle as it will only cost you money later. Buy what you really want. If you don’t know, then don’t buy anything until you do.

^^@ Mystro: Stunning picture, my friend. ^^
OP: if you like both equally, my thought would be to get the one that costs you the less money. Now, if that doesn't resonate with you, well...maybe you don't love them equally? |

If you can physically see both of them before buying, you’ll know which one you want right away.

I’d give the nod to the white dial for legibility

If offered both and you like both equally, I would buy the less expensive option and continue to wait for the other dial color from an AD.

I have the Black Dial … and am on the waitlist for the White Dial … I hope that helps.
Kidding aside, that actually should help … they’re both great, and you can’t make a bad choice. |

And for the record, despite not being a Daytona fan, I much prefer the black dial version anyway.
