Daytona Torture revisited

To my prior post, thanks for the responses about metal and color for the Daytona. With your help, I have decided to focus on 18K yellow case and bracelet. Now on to the dial!

Here are my thoughts: I like the black "Paul Newman" dial (why call it Paul Newman?) Goes with everything. Not crazy about the big angled Arabic numbers. Seems like a popular choice which is not really a plus for me.

I also like the white MOP dial with small Arabics. Will also match all. My concern is will I get tired of it? Is it an attempt to make a sport watch dressy?

Finally, blue dial. Same issue with big Arabics (not my favorite), plus it doesn't blend as well with all clothing. Love the blue color and red sub-hands in a yellow case but not sure if it will clash with some clothes?

BTW, not tempted by pink gold, BUT...the white gold with a meteorite dial is tempting. I just don't want white gold.

What are your thoughts? Is there another you feel strongly about that I haven't mentioned? Thank in advance!
