Would you get a black-on-black-on-black Daytona?
AFAIK Rolex hasn't yet come up with a Daytona with a black-on-black dial, like what's available for the DDII:



Would you get a WG or Pt Daytona with such a dial, and a black ceramic bezel? I'd call it BoBoB, black-on-black-on-black Anyone has Photoshop skills in here maybe?

But I should have also said I love the fact that you're thinking about mix & match; I do sometimes as well.

Wouldn't be very practical IMHO. Too difficult to tell the time.

It's hard enough to tell time on the Daytona without BoB.

No way...the Daytona is hard enough to read with high-contrast dial options.
