TIA for your feedback and opinions.
I would pick the black dial oysterflex.

If you are going OF, I prefer the reverse PN dial to the one you have shown. On OF, I prefer it with a champagne dial and black subdials.

Gold PN dial with bracelet. Just bought mine and absolutely love it. I have the YM40 Everose on OF and love it also, but 1 OF is enough for me.

Yea i have a gold sub. This watch will complete my 10 watch collection and I will call it a day. Plus I like the ceramic bezel on this case.

SS white dial is the best of those 3.

Whatever I could get.
But if I had a choice, SS white.
If I had the funds, platinum blue

If you are considering the yellow gold PM version on Oysterflex I think you have made a mistake in eliminating the white gold version on Oysterflex which I believe to be the best looking Daytona. IMHO.

I do not see that in the line up. I think that watch has been modified.

Thanks, and I agree the SS is great but at market prices other options become quite attractive

Yes it is - depending on the light it can go from a jet black to a dark charcoal grey. It's also textured if you are looking at it in the light up close

I definitely think the white gold is a beauty as well. Honestly, there are several oysterflex versions that look great but they also have very differentiated looks so it all comes down to personal preference and how it might fit within a collection
