I have a YG Daytona champagne (aka) Paul Newman dial with black subdials,and believe it or not I am kinda bored of it; looks very plain

I would like to replace this dial with something a little less boring and
Ive narrowed it down to 2 choices.....
BLUE or IVORY Arabic numbers; both look awesome but I'm leaning towards the ivory one..... I'm confused don't know what to do.
Im even thinking of keeping my current dial

Yours is my favorite daytona dial........but......if you must change it, I like the white dial......but I wouldn't change that PN dial!

Dr. Robert · 2 August 2013, 09:43 AM

double post, sorry

horseco · 2 August 2013, 09:56 AM

I have had the same exact thought, but I'm not sure I would switch...

accce · 2 August 2013, 09:56 AM

I would go with the blue. It looks great in person.

N_Architect · 2 August 2013, 10:04 AM

I have the blue dial, but in the two-tone version. It's a gorgeous dial, so personally I would go with that.

However it is a very personal choice, therefore I feel you should better follow what your heart really likes and not what others may be consider better or beautiful.

Panda for me, blue wasn't that nice and a bit flat in the ADs.

sig-x · 2 August 2013, 10:24 AM

I like the original dual best but I would go with the panda. You can always switch back to the original dial later.

I would like to see a YG Daytona with the black racing dial.

I would keep the dial that you have.

Rolex Freak · 2 August 2013, 10:29 AM

Panda.

I love the color of those new dials but those numbers...they look out of proportion to me almost like a childs watch face?...maybe the numbers make it look too busy. Love the colors though and I think your is great too.

porschedude · 2 August 2013, 01:45 PM

I wouldn't change it either but If your set on changing it, then the blue looks great

kilyung · 2 August 2013, 02:04 PM

The blue is HOT!

Spartan · 2 August 2013, 02:43 PM

Thanks for the different opinions guys, much appreciated! Probably going to stick with the one I already have... But who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll change my mind....
My AD thinks the Panda is the better choice between the 2 choices... but still prefers the Newman overall ..his opinion only!

TSW · 2 August 2013, 04:21 PM

Blue

nickng · 2 August 2013, 04:29 PM

Yo Tony, I love your current Newman dial. I have one about similar, but in black leather.
And I can understand why are your leaning towards changing to the Panda dial. Because they both (panda and your current) share similar contrast.

You should go for the Blue dial (if you change your mind again). Its beautiful and have a totally different contrast from your current.

Hope my

help lighten a little of your confusion

Daytona-Dan · 2 August 2013, 09:06 PM

I would go for the Ivory Arabic and to me it is the best choice out of the three. The Blue would be my least favourite, I saw that in the flesh at an AD when trying out gold Daytona's and I have since decided that I don't like the look of YG and Blue in any watch. It just didn't look right to me.
