i have a SS daytona white dial, gorgeous piece, but i've always liked the red chrono hands in the other dials, but im too cheap to actually buy another daytona so i decided to photoshop this and let me know wat you think, i really like it so i think im buying the chrono hands and second had on ebay and putting them in for a while

im sure you guys know what the normal one looks like

Youre pretty skilled. I have yet to be able to take my watches apart like that. Its funny, cause i have all the tools to. Just havent yet because i am afraid i will do something i cannot fix. Def post some pics of it after youre done modifying, im sure it will look great.

I think the red hands will compliment the red Daytona lettering. Good luck and looking forward to the pics.

Looks ok, but I would not mess with a fresh Daytona, if you get my drift.

I like that look. That's why I love the look of the meteorite Daytona. It's got the red hands and they come naturally.
