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!

Sounds like you've got a lot of soul-searching to do!

Happy Hunting!

Why they call it Paul Neman? Because of the red outer ring.
Truth be known the only modern Daytona's PN had SS white SS black and WG black dial black strap 4130.

(Am talking about the white dial!)

submariner66 · 8 October 2012, 09:51 AM

I love a white dial with a gold watch, timeless! Best option I believe.

Yeah, now that I know the diamond-studded crown guard is an option. Is that factory or after-market? And the Leopard has me Leaping! Wow! I'm gonna rethink my strategy now...the Rocks Rock!

Have a look in person, will help you to id what you love most.

Also, don't think that the YG PN Daytona comes with an Arabic Dial.

Get a SS daytona and have the dial changed to the meteorite dial, the come up on ebay all the time for $2-3k

Hard to imagine her involved in a combo that's not hot!

...I went out with an Elle from Australia once--apparently I picked the wrong one!
