What's your favorite modern SS or WG Daytona dial?
I ask this because I often see WG dials on SS.

Let's see some wrist shots with this.

I pulled the pics from the internet.

I have had most of them and then for one reason or another got bored or tired and flipped it
Nothing got my attention again until the Platona

To chose from your list I like the black face with red hands and second markers

Honestly they are all very cool each in their own way, I'm sure the voting will show that!

I can see that, Tom. Each one of these is so cool and unique in their own way.

And that Platona is definitely something special.

Clearly, the WG Black Arabic works for me.
Had it about two weeks now.

I would LOVE that meteorite, except for the Roman Numerals. They just seem out of place on this watch. Never seen a car's tachometer with Roman numerals :).

Believe it or not I get rid of this one cause after a while face looked washed out and I prefer crisp subdials so....

Thank you, sir. I feel the same way about it; and, I love the silver concentric circles in the sub dials.
