Personally would choose pm over steel but these two dials are apples and oranges.

I prefer the WG with the standard silver dial. That I'd take over White SS. Struggle with Meteorite except for GMT and Day Date as it's less busy on the dial vs the Daytona sub dials.

I would argue not at all on the new version with black sub dials. However I do agree the beauty of the pattern is more prominent in the other two models.

I'll go against the grain here, I'm not a huge fan of the Meteorite dial. The dial is small enough and with the black subdials, you really don't get much of the meteorite effect. Now I do like it on the older Daytona and the GMT but NO WAY you can justify current grey premiums for the meteorite dial daytona over a standard daytona.

White dial for sure, legibility on an already busy chronograph dial is very important

Also prefer the white dial to meteorite. Daytona dial already has enough going on as it is.

Meteorite looks best on GMT IMO.

Although I haven't seen the Meteorite in person yet I feel like it would be too heavy, so I'd go for the sportier lighter white dial.
