My SS Daytona with Panda Dial

Intended to put in a red handset, but was missing a small chrono hand, so i only had the large seconds put in


Will probably add the remaining red hands in someday!

Usually, I don't approve of changes to the original appearance because in most cases, the final product doesn't look good to me.

But in this case - it's fantastic!

Looks a milion bucks. Now RSC will not touch it, which is a shame. Luckily there are enough independents.

Apologies in advance if I offend anyone.....I love LOVE the panda dial, but the black hands on the black sub dials are impossible to read...

They are not black, Bob.
They are white gold but look like black in the pic above. Even the hour and minute hands look black.

If I ever got an SS Daytona, that dial - or the black / red - is what I would want!

Nice!

Now get those other sub dial hands
