The old dial with baguettes is the best.

I vastly prefer the brown subdials, so 11 non-baguette or either 12 version would be terrific IMO.

Best in catalog period - convince me otherwise.

Cleaner dials, less busy with the baguettes vs buttons...

Should have messed with perfection

Have to agree, the 116506 with baguette diamonds has always been my favorite reference too. The much cleaner looking dial with baguette diamonds, that are not that flashy unless the light hits them from the right angle, is just sublime.

I just don't care for the brown and blue combo
BUT
I like the new dial with the diamonds more.
The brown sundials seems to balance it out a little more for me.
Id rather the Plat DD40 Fluted Ice Blue with Diamonds myself.

I am with you; brown and blue is not my color combo on watches. On the Daytona, I would go with the diamonds as the subdials are not brown. As said above, it is then a very clean and uncluttered dial.
