White, best looking SS Rolex IMO, had both.

ap1 · 1 May 2018, 04:33 AM

I have both and would not give up either. White more showy and black is the business

Squire711 · 1 May 2018, 04:43 AM

White (panda) was always my first choice, i was lucky enough to be offered the black one first. Which i turned the black on down at the time, certainly paid off as i have white one in my collection.

My grail watch!

Hard_Six · 1 May 2018, 04:45 AM

I like white the most. Just has a little more pop imo.

Shouldn't the illusion be the other way round? I've heard folks mention that black looks bigger because the bezel looks like a continuation of the dial thus making the entire dial seem larger.

I pick black because it's not flashy.
I bought the white because my wife likes it.

Majin Buu · 1 May 2018, 05:11 AM

I like and bought the Ceramic black Dial, IMHO, White is not Panda (complete black Sub Dials) more like a Petey (little Rascals Dog)...

The black for me. Such a looker. A real dream piece for me.

swils8610 · 1 May 2018, 05:27 AM

White. I’m simply not a fan of the black dial.

Black for me, something about the black on Black....just simply stunning. And looks great dressed up or down.

Chadridv · 1 May 2018, 05:46 AM

I've owned both and end up picking white. Simple reason is because I have, what I feel is shaping up to be a real nice collection of watches. I think the black is the more versatile watch. Both are obviously sporty, but the black can dress up a little more than the white IMO.

Since I have a collection and good rotation of watches, I don't really need the versatility, and simply put I just find the white to be more fun.

sensui · 1 May 2018, 06:10 AM

White because it looks sportier/sleeker than the black. I got a small wrist as well and the black wears larger on my wrist so I don't like that either. The black 116520 is money though.

There is no right or wrong answer IMHO.

I started out liking the black dial a lot more, but when I saw both in the flesh I love the white a lot more. Gives the watch a lot more contrast and pop.

glassdial · 1 May 2018, 06:36 AM

Definitely the white dial, I was lucky enough to buy one and then offered a trade for the black version. I had them side by side it was an easy decision to stick with the white dial.

Token74 · 1 May 2018, 07:11 AM

I wanted the white. I got the black. I wouldn't swap.

RJRJRJ · 1 May 2018, 07:29 AM

Ordered white and was offered a black one a few times while waiting. Stuck it out and waited until I got the white.

TheWatchEnthusiast · 1 May 2018, 07:37 AM

I am on the waiting list for the white (second in line) but my AD has gotten 4 black dialed ones in the last 25 months. and non of the white. Before that she got 2 white dialed on a row so there is no method to the madness.
She offered me the last black dial one and I accepted as long as it didn’t take me off the list for the white. She assured me that it will not. I now own the black dialed Daytona and still waiting on the white. The black is absolutely gorgeous in my opinion but as others said I love the contrast of the white one. It is louder while the black is more elegant.

I had the choice of the two and went with the intention of buying the white but after trying both on, I chose the black without hesitation.

viper · 1 May 2018, 07:43 AM

Black for me. Very svelte looking

lamnyc · 1 May 2018, 07:50 AM

Ordered a white dial and passed on a black dial. Got a second chance on a black dial and I’m glad I got it. It’s very slick and sporty. Looks amazing. I do agree that the black dial looks better than the white with oysterflex.

AK797 · 1 May 2018, 07:57 AM

Like the crisp white against the piano black bezel, very nice. My fave white dial watch.

TheRolexKingofLV · 1 May 2018, 08:02 AM

I truly don’t like one more than the other. I love them both!

MinMay · 1 May 2018, 08:26 AM

Black. White is too feminine looking. It reminds me the day when apple released their first iPhone. And then I hated it after several months.

Then again. I hate color watch or anything that attracts attention. That’s just me.

I was going to send the same picture from our house. My wife loves her black and I just got the white. I wouldn’t trade with her and she wouldn’t trade with me.

GsurgBM · 1 May 2018, 08:38 AM

I went white. But like both. IMG_2375.JPG

Black dial. Looks more dressy. You can’t go wrong with either.

Ungucpho · 1 May 2018, 09:09 AM

white, since most of my watches already have a black or blue face

Seaswirl · 1 May 2018, 09:26 AM

White. I owned a black 116520 and couldn’t read it.

MTdweller · 1 May 2018, 09:29 AM

The white dial and black ceramic bezel is a great look. I had never considered adding a Daytona to my collection until I saw this watch. Too bad it is either a several year wait or $20k purchase.
