Which Daytona
Hi guys,
I can’t make my mind up between these two beauties. The silver dial seems to be a little dearer with the greys, why is that? Anyway which one would you choose and why Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Both are beautiful pieces! Tough choice, but I’d go with the silver because I like contrasting sub-dials. Only would go with the blue if I didn’t have a blue dial in the collection. Can’t go wrong either way, and both are very versatile!

Blue dial pops more IMO

I'd go with the top if you were considering the OF. The ceramic bezel contrasted with the steel dial works well on that version. The blue looks better with the all WG.

Both look better in person than in photos. Have you been able to see them first-hand or only online?
I'd have a bare time deciding but it would come down to what else is in your collection. |

I like the blue but it looked very dark IRL. Either one is good but panda is cool.

Blue dial
The silver dial looks better on ceramic bezel and osterflex |

Do you guys think the Blue dial will ever come in an OF config? Havent seen one in real life or even IG nothing. While the panda dial has been seen already in both OF and full WG config.

Blue - the silver dial is same face on oysterflex and needs ceramic bezel to work. Post pics when you get it.

I would go with grey - more understated, which I like. The blue is nice but seems a bit more like a novelty. Also I think the grey will go with more clothes options.

I prefer the silver, but John Mayor thinks the WG/blue is a sleeper for LT value after YG/green.

I like both but prefer the silver if this is a one watch PM collection. If you have multiple watches in PM and don't have a blue dial, that would be the choice.

Blue dial. They have one at Finks in Norfolk Virginia right now as well as a White gold Daytona on oysterflex which I tried on yesterday. Baller watches!

I would go with the Blue, more striking. The blue is exceptional.

I personally prefer the new OF models with ceramic bezels as they’re much more conducive to daily wear and tear. The highly polished bezel and bracelet of a traditional Daytona render the watch less wearable and less versatile imo. These are both gorgeous, regardless. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, although I suggest considering the ceramic models if you haven’t already.

Blue 100%.
Not close in my opinion, the blue just looks amazing. Give that thing a ceramic bezel and it'd be perfect. |

Both are gorgeous. I was originally a fan of the grey dial, but having tried on the blue at an AD I totally fell in love. The blue is stunning.
