Daytona decisions! Help choosing

Hi, am looking to add another Daytona to my collection, am struggling between, white gold black Arabic dial, white gold blue dial, DIW forged carbon case, or the ss ceramic black dial but I already hace the panda so am not very sure of the last one being an option. Or maybe another brand option ap the pride of Germany or the dark night

Love the blue dial...that would be my choice. Although the black racing dial would be a very close second.

If you actually plan to use the chrono, get the AP it’s at least legible though don’t care for the RO design. For just appearance sake, that blue dial would be the way to go.

There is something in that WG and blue dial. WG has a little blueish hue than SS, so it complement's it well. I'd go for that.

WG blue dial, WG "steel" newman dial (getting the ceramic bezel on OF is also really nice with this dial), YG green dial, and Platona are the best of the current PM Daytona offerings.

I like the blue dial and the ceramic black. I've told my AD put me in for a black ceramic....unfortunately, won't get one soon.

Second one, black dial and red hands. Also is easy to read too.

I'm a fan of the racing dials. They're really something special in person.

Always white gold steel dial with Black Subdials if you already have a 500LN

I think the WG blue dial is one of the best looking watches made...

If you want one this decade, go TT. Those are showing up regularly in AD’s cases.
