Daytona 126500LN - white or black dial? Why?
What is most versatile- dress up and down? Opinions?!

Black. White dial is the hype dial.

I don't think there's much of a difference in versatility, but I have both and prefer the white dial

If you figure out the answer, please let me know.
I like the black dial more on my wrist (ever so slightly) but in a collection of black (or dark) dials it’s a refreshing change to pull a white dial out. Soooo…..both? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Since I only have the white dial, I'll go with white. :)

White is a lot more sophisticated and pops so much. Black is under the radar. Someone who doesn't know watches may would think that it came from Walmart, which may be a good thing. White looks expensive. White is more legible to my eyes, too, and it's just so visually pleasing.
Much to the chagrin of many members here, I passed on a black a couple months ago while I wait on the white. I'm feeling uneasy about it, but my SA continues to pump me up the white is coming for me soon. White is the way to go if you can't have both! Black when you don't want to be noticed, white for all other times. |

The black dial wins for me hands down, it’s a much better looking watch IMHO

I like black more, but since most other watches in my collection are black, I'd go with white

Not a fan of any of the modern day Daytona,but depending on what part of the world in Asia they seem to prefer the Black.While most of Europe and USA prefer white, but speaking for myself I always buy the type of dial that I want to own and wear.

White - it just stands out more, for me, the white against black bezel is much more interesting ..
If you were able to get either I really doubt you’d be disappointed ..

Honestly, they are both great. That's why I want to have both eventually. I think the black is more formal and white is more sporty. I prefer the last gen white. The current gen black is also great, but the last gen black subdial had more details.

I think generally speaking anything in a black variety will be more versatile. However, if given the option of which one I'd like to add to my collection I would choose white.

The color dial picked me. It wasn’t a hard decision. That said, I would mind a black one to finish the collection.

If I can get one at retail I don’t care about the dial color.

I was a huge fan of the 116 in white. When the 126 came out, I preferred it in black. I currently have a 126 in black. Both great!

Daytona 126500LN - white or black dial? Why?
Quote:
I personally trade my 116 white for the new 126. Couldn’t be happier. In white the old 116 is more bold but next to a white 126 looks less refined to me in person and in hand. I didn’t like it at first but in person it totally changed my mind |

I dont really like the thinner subdials of the 126500. For me the 116500 and 116520 were the perfect balance.
And for some reason, the thinness of the subdials is more prominent for white dial, so for the new variant, I would prefer black. But hey never say no to any daytona. |

I must say they are both great , almost difficult to choose. i wouldn't mind having both. of course I'd most likely prefer the black dial because it is more out spoken in the context of style. One does not necessarily need to be introduced all the time. The black dial just lets it speak for itself.

Both are awesome, but the white 126 is deserving of the hype.

Black for me. White if the sub dials are solid instead of a "circle"
