I love the panda dial but I have a couple blue dial watches already. I really do like all the activity on the Panda also.

Maxtor · 28 October 2018, 11:14 AM

Love the Panda.

peterpl · 28 October 2018, 11:17 AM

I would get that Panda dial. Looks the bees knees

sgwatch · 28 October 2018, 01:45 PM

I'd get the panda, of those two. When I saw the blue dial, I thought it was really difficult to read. The contrast just wasn't there.

Same here, if weren’t for the Arabic numerals then it would’ve been a hard choice so I vote blue here.

Interesting to see numbers on the dial, only ever seen batons before.

Token74 · 28 October 2018, 07:20 PM

Blue dial probably.

Or maybe Panda.

Impossible choice!

Easy.....You just bought a Porsche in blue, which almost looks to be the same blue as this pm daytona. I would go with the blue on this one!

duc888 · 28 October 2018, 09:25 PM

I prefer the blue one because I do not like the numbers on the dial for a Daytona.

Danwealth · 28 October 2018, 09:48 PM

I love both.. but I would choose panda as it is legible..

Nidal · 28 October 2018, 09:52 PM

I’m voting blue too

I've been wearing the white gold/blue version for nearly two years...it's great. In fact, I'm going to put it on right now......
It's legibility is good, easy to read.

1William · 28 October 2018, 10:38 PM

Of the two choices I prefer the blue dial. The Daytona has alot going on already and this version of the Panda dial makes it worse in my opinion. There is another silver dial Daytona with darker subdial on a bracelet that I really like. Don't have the model number.

I think we’re in the minority when it comes to liking the arabics on the dial

Agree, I didn’t have an issue with legibility

Yes, I like that model, just wish it had the ceramic bezel...like the one on Oyster Flex....they’re both beautiful

Still have these couple thoughts...
White dial....Negative- the arabics do make a little clutter.
Positive- The contrast wins that dial over for me.

Blue dial....Negative- everything kind of blends together with the matching sub-dials
Positive- The blue is my favorite color

Blue, for sure, Richard.

The arabics kill the panda for me (aesthetically), and I've also found that the darker sub dials make it harder to see the white gold hands on the various pandas I've owned over the years. So in my mind, form and function go to the blue.

I will say this. The blue under low lighting conditions reminds me an awful lot of the black 116520 I had several years ago. (Without the weight, obviously) Now...that is going to be a plus to some and a minus to others.

I had the blue and flipped it...and now I'm seriously wondering what was I thinking and getting it back.
