For me, it's either SS and a white dial or TT and slate dial

The black/red racing dial is one of my favorites. I wish the numbers were lumed though. Best of both worlds is the very close slate dial. That is stunning in person.

Those are my two favorite daytonas, can't go wrong either way. I'd give the slight edge to the racing dial.

I think the slate dial looks too cramped compared to the black / red dial.

I know they look similar from a distance, but close up I think the black / red looks far better.

I'm thinking about trying a black / red dial in a leather strap version of the WG watch. I think it would look good.

Slight nudge to the panda...but I have a soft spot for the black/red combo. Certainly would be happy with either.

Now that the new ones are in play, that blue looks amazing.
