TT Daytona Dials

I am planning on getting a Rolex Daytona TT in the near future. I have narrowed my dial choices down to TT white, TT black, or TT mother of pearl(which i have recently fell in love with due to Racerdjs pictures). Any pictures, guidance, or opinions would be extremely helpful.
happy new years!

Did you see the panda dial and blue arabic dial they are stunning too.

Panda being my fav daytona TT dial



And the blue arabic



Not sure if this is the NYE drink but I can't remember ever seeing these in the daily WRUW threads. Maybe that says something about these or even TT

Those Panda dials are stunning( does the panda have a slight of white creamy color? or is it just my eyes?) The black rolex is very nice too,,, If you were going to pick again would you still pick the black face?(i currently have an oris diver and a homage OP both black face) Is the black face more elegant than the white one? and last question- Has anyone had any experiences ordering from swiss-wrist>?
Thank you guys all for the input.

I have the black face which I really like, but given the choice of either I would go the blue face with Arabic (the red hands on the blue and gold just sings). Here is mine if it is any help.

That blue would be awesome with sticks. Does anyone else find big Arabic on Daytona off-putting?

The blue face daytona is on my short list of to get, think it would be better with a Jubilee band.

Blue dial. I like the red hands on the sub dials - they make the sub dials legible.
