Bra val men jag skulle säga att det är en win win sits, den gamla var ju inte fy skam heller.

Great change Jesse! The "Paul Newman" dial is by far the best for the YG Daytona. Followed by the meteorite on the White Gold.

This is definitely my next move.

The new dial looks great!! The contrasting colors on the new face really highlights the sub-dials and the watch is much more stunning.

I am wanting to do something very similar--i.e., change the dial on my YG Daytona from an all gold face to the white face). Similar to your change, I think that the contrast will highlight the sub-dials and make the watch face much more interesting (too monochromatic now). May I ask how you were able to get this done? I've heard that Rolex won't change the dials on the Daytona, even if you want to make a "lateral" change in the dials and are changing to a dial was originally offered on the watch. Is this true? I just dropped off my watch with an AD that has an authorized service center--the person that I spoke with said that they could make the dial change, and that I will get the quote in a week, but I am skeptical as to whether he knows what he is talking about.

I am happy to deal with an independent watchmaker so long as they can get a factory white dial and all the parts will be authentic Rolex parts.

Thanks in advance!
