If you're in the market for a full WG Daytona, I'd suggest also checking out the silver/steel dial panda. Beautiful watch.
Yes yes yes
The white gold steel dial is the best
I tried both and picked the steel dial

RG for me. It’s a knock out of a watch.

Of those two, easily the WG/blue dial. I don't like Rolex RG though, so a bit biased.

I will also add, I own two Daytona PMs and neither of them is among your choices.

Thx for sharing. Something about the rose gold chocolate combo that’s very alluring

This watch is spectacular. I also like it on OF, the dial is that good. But for me, I went 519 there . I will add that wg is my absolute favorite metal but the blue left me cold. If blue is your thing go

From looking at pics, I would have chosen the WG blue dial.

After seeing them in person, definitely the Rose gold brown dial. I would have thought the brown dial would just get lost in the rose gold but it still pops. The blue dial needs more of a sunburst effect IMO. It's really nice but seems slightly monotonous.

Daytona PM

The RG is spectacular in the flesh. You already have a steel Daytona and a Platinum DD - mix it up a bit.

Don’t look at the majority voting for WG. WG just seems to be the trend now. Go for what YOU like more.

Rose chocolate is special and absolutely spectacular on the wrist

So I don’t have Daytona but a dd40
The chocolate dial in the real world and lighting actually brings the pop and tone of the gold down a bit !!

WG is boring man

Get the RG or even better a YG watch. That RG choco will blow your socks off in person compared to that WG one. Trust me go see them in the flesh.

RG and Choco is the best color combo.

RG. Never liked any watches in any gold until I saw a Rolex RG in person. It wouldn’t be a daily wearer for me though.

WG for me as RG does not work for my skin tone. YG would be the first choice.
