Daytona-dial color preference
I am considering purchasing a WG Daytona and thinking about either a black dial or silver dial with arabic numerals. Does one dial seem easier to read than the other?

Not sure which one would be easier to read, but from what I have seen the black dial looks better.

Edit: Both are really nice, but I prefer the silver. The WG Slate dial is actually my favorite though.
Good luck and let us know what you decide on! |

For the WG Daytona, my vote is for the black arabic dial. Very sharp!

I love the 116509 WG with the black/red dial and arabic numbers. If I had to pick a Daytona, that'd be it.

Black Arabic looks much better in picture than in metal.
Silver looks very much the same as the case and bracelet but it is more legible. I would get Panda dial or Slate Arabic if you like darker color... |

Black and Red like above is GREAT
Slate is also a GREAT option!
