Panda
This blue dial is muted and doesn’t look nice w gold. IMHO |

I am no help as I am stuck at 50-50. Absolutely no wrong answer.

I had exactly the same dilemma. I ended up going for the blue face only as at the time I did not have such a coloured face in my collection. I should have got both!

Tough one...the panda (other than the platona) is my favorite Daytona dial. I’d say this and your DaytonaC are different enough to have in a collection. If you don’t have a blue dial, I’d probably lean that direction. Either one is the right choice!

A lot of love for both models, and for good reason...they're both winners.
You know, one thought that I haven't seen voiced about the panda is the sub dial gold hands tend to get lost against the black background. I think function-wise, the red shows up much better against the blue. If function actually matters to you. |

Two great choices. If it were me I'd go for the blue dial. It's much more unique. I'm not a huge fan of two tone watches, but that blue dial Daytona may have made me a believer.

I had that Panda and let it go for the white dial 116500. If I to do it all over again, I'd still go Panda.
In your case, I'd chose blue. I like BNIB.

Not a fan of the 2 tone on this reference at all. Just go stainless.

They're both beautiful. Color is so subjective, whether on a watch or on a car. Only YOU can decide which one lights you up. Wear them both and you'll know. Doesn't matter that I prefer the blue one. What matters is which one you love more.

Does the BNIB blue dial from your AD have the current bezel style? Like this one?
If so that would swing it for me. If not, then panda

Blue dial of these two. Blue looks classy and sporty. Dig the red accents.
IMO the white dial TT looks better with the classic white/gold with stick indices.
