Love it, grey/slate dial and brown strap work so well together and even better on WG.

I like it but would advise (1) you may get tired of the strap and (2) that particular dial changes in the light and can be difficult to read.

I agree about the difficulty to read but for this piece I will make it work.

Here it is on bracelet. Dial looks a little different here than in your picture.

I think it looks great although I am on the fence with the arabic numerals. Tends to look sportier but clutter the dial a bit.

I own that watch. I swapped the strap for a strap that is little more sporty, and I wear it all the time and LOVE it. I wasn't sure about the Arabic numerals, but after owning this one......I would DEFINITELY be happy with them on another watch. Honestly, I have never found the dial to be difficult to read. Pictures just don't do this one justice IMHO.

It's a beauty. Plus you've always got the RubberB option for more durability with the strap.

My fave white gold Daytona is Meteorite, I am not fond of Arabic and metal bracelet is looking nicer in Daytona models
