I think that one is one of the availble dials for the WG Daytona.

That looks like the yellow gold dial to me? Like the one fitted on the 116523.
If that is the case, it won't look to good on a ss Daytona IMO. |

My Bad, your right it does come on a YG model. In fact on the Rolex website it's the dial on the YG Daytona with a strap.

This would have been a better choice IMO, white gold surrounds rather than YG:

I do think that it will look marvellous on a 116520. Better than the WG panda dial. I like Omega's use of yellow gold hour markers on some of their SS model on a white dial. Be sure to post a pic to prove me right.

I completely agree. The YG surrounds just look out of place, but if you're happy with then that's all that matters.

Nothing too negative about the mod per se, it is rather that the OP put a yellow gold watch dial with yellow gold hands and numerals on a stainless steel watch vs putting the white gold ditto one. But as stated, as long as the owner is happy with the mod I am all for it. Congrats!

Both dials are very nice but the WG dial & hands suits the st/st and the YG dial and hands look better on a YG or TT model.
