choices to make.
I have the opportunity to buy a "G" White SS daytona with a panda dial or I can get a Deepsea D-blue. What does the masses think? I do own a seadweller already, but I feel as if they are two totally different animals.

for me? Panda dial, easy choice.

But i think it depends on your wrist size.

The SS does not come with that dial as original so beware Rolex themselves will not service it.And the only difference between the seadweller and the DSSD blue is the dial,size and a W/R that no man will will ever use in water.

I'm not a fan of the (bi-color) DSSD so my choice would be the Daytona.

Daytona

A sd and ds would be a bit insane unless your last name starts with a c and rhymes with toe

The DSSD for me would do the trick because it is original. I generally have not warmed up to modded watches.

I would want a correct example of the Daytona. If not, then DSSD-b

Wouldn't get a Daytona with the wrong dial on it. So I would go with the DSSD
