I prefer the green dial, but wouldn't mind having both.

While I do love a gold Daytona, and most green dials, I just am not keen on that particular YG/green dial combo. I’m not sure if it’s the non-contrasting sub-dials, shade of green, or….?
Meteorite dials are attractive, but not the end all, be all for me. I like them very much, but don’t love them, and some are more attractive than others IMO, given the different cuts, shades, etc….
In this case though, I would choose the meteorite dial first for sure

Not a fan of the modern day Daytona even less a fan of gold watches but if I did have to choose it would be the Meteorite dial as its unique and one of a kind as no two are exactly the same.

Twist my arm, but I’d take the green dial.

The modern Daytona is already a hard watch to read at a glance, the meteorite dial only makes it harder (personally speaking of course).

Green dial. It's already a classic.

In my view, meteorite looks better on less busy dials like the DD or GMT.

This is a tough one!

The YG green dial looks better, but meteorite dial is undoubtedly the special one...

I'd go with the green dial, even if no other meteorite dial in the collection, based on choose what brings more joy to your eyes.
