Daytona dial preference
If you could have only one WG Daytona, and the choice was between a meteorite or panda dial, which would you go for and why?

Panda, but meteorite is quite awesome. Difficult to read though

The meteorite for sure. And I've used one at an AD - the subdials are easy to read with the red hands and black markers...

I had a Meterotie dial Daytona and I loved it. However after one month the 6 o'clock stick marker fell off the dial and was bouncing around. Rolex did fix it under warranty quite quickly but since that occurred I would recommend the Panda. I do realize that this was probably an isolated case but it could not be fixed at the local shop and had to go to a major service centre.

Again, I am sure mine was an isolated case.

I would go with the meteorite. It's amazing in person, pictures don't do it justice

I would go with the one I could read most easily.

I have never looked at either of those dials

Meteorite!

I just tried one on while on vacation recently. That dial is so much more amazing in person.
