Simply stunning, and the splash of red gives it a more sporty look. Congrats.

I wouldn’t say boring. I dont believe on taking cosmetic parts from high end sports cars and putting them on lower end models either. Enjoy!

Wouldn’t say lower end, it’s just different materials!!!

Nothing against PM watches as some look fantastic but at the end of the day it’s the same design and same movement just different case material, would a Porsche 911 wrapped in gold be a higher end sports car then a normal Porsche 911.

And if we wanted function over form then technically the PM is inferior!

That’s a very cool dial I always thoughts Arabic’s are well suited to the Daytona
