I'd keep the one you have.

Maybe source a set of the red subdial hands.

Hmmmm, tough one.....I am a sucker for white dials....but I prefer the arabics on the grey dial. What about the newer white arabic dial (like 'marke' has)?

You'll be changing to the red hands on the registers too, i assume? That makes the slate dial really pop. In Canada, will they let you keep the old dial\hands too?

Voting for the grey.......if you go thru with it, be sure to post pics...but you knew that ;)

Tough call.... but the Arabics with lume win me over! And you can change back if you want to, right?

For me the GREY with RED dial is one of the most "exotic" dial Rolex ever made for Daytona.

How much for the dial, does the Rolex Center let you keep your old ones?
