There are some lovely photos on this thread, but they make me think that the Roman numerals on the Daytona dial make it look far too busy for me! The Day Date dial looks really nice to my eye.

Before the weekend I was working on a DJII, I repaired the meteorite Daytona before I broke my elbow last week and took a couple of days off. The DD pic I took a while ago

This Daytona meteorite dial is a pretty early version, they changed the indexes slightly and the print is a bit blurry in comparison to later versions.

I think this is the best looking Daytona meteorite dial, simple indexes and the black subdials make it less busy, love it

I agree, the DD one is pretty much my favourite dial ever made. I hope they do one for a Datejust one day, without indexes.
