Hi Nico, one thing, that I haven't really seen anybody discuss.....
Is the way the numbering on the bezel is arranged.
With the Zenith, and all the older daytonas, the tachymeter numbers all faced the same direction. Now, I guess ever since the bezel became ceramic, the numbers have been rotated around the bezel. I find it very hard to describe, but I am sure that you know what I mean!!
I much prefer the older way of displaying the numerals, and every time I see the new daytonas with ceramic bezels, it just bugs the hell out of me!!!
Maybe it is just me!!
Because of this, I think I would go for the black dial - even though I love the old Zenith 16520s, I don't feel the comparison between the two, as I can't stop looking at the tachy numbering alignment!!
Ah, such obsessions!
Cheers, Imran
Rolex Daytona Ceramic. Black or White dial?
The only way to make your mind is to see these 2 new Daytonas in the flesh OR to have a side by side picture. I went for the second solution as I didn't have the opportunity to live the first, yet. Bot are tempting, I must say. I would have a slight prefe...
I got a short while ago
the white version and will open the parcel when coming back home. I chose the white one because it reminds about the past models. Best, Kari
I will take one or two when I get back home.
It is quite exciting to start wearing this watch. I think the Rolex Daytona represent tremendous value. Best, Kari
Good game like Portuguese players could say ;-)
That was not so boring for me as I much prefer rugby ) Best wishes Alkiro

white dial it is...
i like the 'brightness' of the dial and sub-dials is mirroring the black bezel...
White dial, but . . . .
It's really 1.A. and 1.B. for me. I like both. I'm on the wait list for whitey. M4
I can't decide
The black one looks cool too. I\'ve seen the pair next to each other on a watch fair, but they were dummies. And they didn\'t impress me actually. But I\'m not sure if they had the real deal feel being dummies (if you get my drift). I\'m in the list for a...
If I pretend past refereneces don't exist
and think completely objectively about what will bring me more pleasure on the wrist then black dial. However, my plan is to buy whichever one my AD provides sells me first. I asked for both and am happy to be patient.
9-0 for the white dial
Tried both in flesh in Vienna. For me the white version has more presence. Cheers, Thomas
No, a little bit more in love with the
Blue Submariner TT. At the moment. Summer feelings. Almost ready to pull the trigger... Best, Thomas
A very interesting watch.
I just know it from some pics so far. When I saw it for the first time the dial was too busy for me. Too inhomogeneous. But it starts to grow on me... Best, Thomas
And if you compare the
new Airking with the Milgauss? Quite interesting... What do you think? Best, Thomas
Based solely on photos, Nico...
I have to say white! Here´s hoping many of us will get to see these in the flesh soon. Cheers, Alex
White all day long....
I've been lucky to spend a lot of time playing with both and to me the white just ticks all the boxes so is incoming this year Andy.
Another vote for the white.
As others have said, the Zenith look is very appealing. I have tried both on, and the black is also very nice. You may not be able to tell looking at the black ceramic\'s dial in isolation, but it is much improved over the 116520. ...
I prefer the dial of the black " ceramic " to the 116520, too. I find it has more
" Depth ". For one major reason, the circled sub dials which I find nicer, with a better contrast. Now, the white seems to be a massive winner. Best, Nicolas
I like the white.............
But of the previous version. I know that goes against the grain but I'm note sure how I feel about the ceramic bezel. Tony
If I had to choose...
The white dial. I'm not a fan yet although that may change if I see it in the metal and ceramic.
What?! 18-1?
I am a little surprise by the score, because in my opinion both opinions are nice! With that said white for me Sincerely and Respectfully Joseph
I'll be the dissenter
And say black. The white may look more like the Zenith but with the black ceramic bezel the black looks more harmonious to me. Eye of the beholder?
For me my friend black for sure...
I saw both and had chance at one or the other and chose black. I actually wanted the white first then after seeing pics of the black had to have it. With the black bezel/black dial it is super stealthy and such a nice change. With that said, I have the wh...
