Which dial for YG Daytona?

Hi guys,
putting aside the green dial that is extremely difficult to get and the meteorite that is unreasonably expensive, which is your favourite dial for the YG Daytona?

1) Black
2) White
3) Campagne
4) Champagne with black sub dial
5) Black with Champagne sub dial (PN)

Nobody else that evaluated the purchase of the full gold 116508 Daytona wants to bring his contribution?

Plain black for me, I don’t like all the extra colors in the black PN dial.

Yellow gold Daytona’s look a tad feminine to me but the plain black mans it up a bit.
Probably not the PC thing to say but it’s just my opinion.

The only downside is legibility.

In general I see the black dials more correct for the sporty watches, but Daytona is a quite particular watch.The truth is that I never thought to buy a full YG Daytona and I would appreciate to hear the opinions of those that passed through this process before me; of course I hope that my AD will supply the green dial but I see it as very difficult, so I would like to be in the list also for an alternative dial.

#5 is beautiful and it's underrated IMO.

I agree I voted 5

It’s unique. I’m lucky to get the green dial, I know that, but I really like the matte black, red track, champagne sub dial variant. Specifically the matte black and red track. Stunning, and unique.

#5 for sure. #4 not too far behind. All the others are waaay off in the distance.

Newman dial all day. The red chrono hand just sets the entire thing off. I love the ceramic bezel on the oyster flex model but would prob want the all gold bracelet for it too!

Meteorite! I know it's not on the list and it goes against my believe that the sub dials should be light colored for legibility.
