Hi guys,
I can’t make my mind up between these two beauties. The silver dial seems to be a little dearer with the greys, why is that?

Anyway which one would you choose

and why

Both are beautiful pieces! Tough choice, but I’d go with the silver because I like contrasting sub-dials. Only would go with the blue if I didn’t have a blue dial in the collection. Can’t go wrong either way, and both are very versatile!

Blue dial pops more IMO

trelane · 28 April 2019, 08:14 PM

I'd go with the top if you were considering the OF. The ceramic bezel contrasted with the steel dial works well on that version. The blue looks better with the all WG.

Both very very nice. Hard call that, might go with the blue. Then again not sure haha

ArchMerlin · 28 April 2019, 09:06 PM

Agree that the grey dial shud go with ceramic bezel while the blue suited full wg more.

037 · 28 April 2019, 09:09 PM

Both look better in person than in photos. Have you been able to see them first-hand or only online?

I'd have a bare time deciding but it would come down to what else is in your collection.

glamorama · 28 April 2019, 09:13 PM

I like the blue but it looked very dark IRL. Either one is good but panda is cool.

Kigan · 28 April 2019, 09:13 PM

Blue. Magic dial.

peterpl · 28 April 2019, 09:14 PM

Blue dial

The silver dial looks better on ceramic bezel and osterflex

jonathan17 · 28 April 2019, 09:15 PM

Do you guys think the Blue dial will ever come in an OF config? Havent seen one in real life or even IG nothing. While the panda dial has been seen already in both OF and full WG config.

cajerseyboy · 28 April 2019, 09:23 PM

Blue - the silver dial is same face on oysterflex and needs ceramic bezel to work. Post pics when you get it.

I would go with grey - more understated, which I like. The blue is nice but seems a bit more like a novelty. Also I think the grey will go with more clothes options.

I prefer the silver, but John Mayor thinks the WG/blue is a sleeper for LT value after YG/green.

Was a sleeper until he announced it to every Daytona collector...

1William · 28 April 2019, 09:57 PM

I like both but prefer the silver if this is a one watch PM collection. If you have multiple watches in PM and don't have a blue dial, that would be the choice.

TswaneNguni · 28 April 2019, 10:00 PM

t65tampa · 28 April 2019, 10:17 PM

Blue dial with white gold Daytona is my pick.

Another vote for the blue. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

gummy · 28 April 2019, 10:22 PM

Both are sweet in person...But I give the edge to Blue

judson · 28 April 2019, 10:38 PM

That silver dial is stunning, never knew it existed. That would be my choice.

greeneyedguy · 28 April 2019, 10:43 PM

Blue dial. They have one at Finks in Norfolk Virginia right now as well as a White gold Daytona on oysterflex which I tried on yesterday. Baller watches!

I agree, the blue looks sweet. Might have to make a trip to Finks. Did they have anything else of interest? Every time I’ve been in there, they haven’t had much.

I would go with the Blue, more striking. The blue is exceptional.

TimeToWatch · 28 April 2019, 10:50 PM

I personally prefer the new OF models with ceramic bezels as they’re much more conducive to daily wear and tear. The highly polished bezel and bracelet of a traditional Daytona render the watch less wearable and less versatile imo. These are both gorgeous, regardless. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, although I suggest considering the ceramic models if you haven’t already.

familyguy · 28 April 2019, 10:50 PM

Blue 100%.

Not close in my opinion, the blue just looks amazing. Give that thing a ceramic bezel and it'd be perfect.
