PeteTo, IMO get the white as I started out like you. Had a gen Sub and purchased a Daytona a year later. Ended up selling the Daytona as it had the same color face and is a very sporty watch, just like the Sub. The fact that it had no date I always ended up sporting the sub. But at the same time the Daytona is kind of dressy as it is polished mid links and case. So it never felt right. Watches need to be very different in my opinion so it gives you the option of really having change. Also the white Daytona is a real looker.
By the way are you flipping for a Gen or Rep. Ive been thinking of getting the swiss 7750 but heard it not even powerful enough to run secs at 6.
