What Daytona Dial would You would get (I am trying to narrow it down)
Im looking to get a daytona. Im narrowed my search to these few dials. Which one would you get out of these and why if possible. I am 2nd market buyer. I do like the SS Panda, but hard to justify the crazy prices. The leather straps on the first 3 will be taken off and have a rubber strap put on. ::EDIT:: Since there was an overwhelming response to the paul newman, I changed the field to these 3 dials. TIA for your feedback and opinions.

I like the oyster flex version, but they're all nice.

Ceramic bezel on OF 100%. I like the tach dials much better on that one than the others.
On the first I don't like the numbers or leather, on the second and third I don't like the leather. My choice though would be a Chocolate and RG on OF. |

I would be removing the leather straps and putting on a rubber strap similar to OF. |

I think the black with gold subdials looks sportier and will fare better on rubber strap with the ceramic bezel being the icing. I preferred the champagne and used it more as a dress watch.

I changed the field a little. Unfortunately, my wife is no help... she doesn't like the daytona at all.

I have a weakness for the full YG bracelet and enjoy the heft of the wrist.

I'd go for the gold bezel and bracelet. I'm less worried about scratching the bracelet than paying an up charge for a bit of ceramic and rubber or stainless steel.

Three very nice Daytonas.
I own 2 on your shortlist - 116508 & 116500 - and the full-gold 116508 is my favourite and my recommendation. Bonus: As a pre-owned purchase, the 116508 is better value. |

Gold with bracelet. Can always add a rubber strap later, and I’m in the minority but metal bezel > ceramic.

I'm probably the only one, but I do not like the "PN" dial at all. The red throws it off imo. Plus adding the champagne along the with red makes it a bit catoonie with all the bright colors going on.
Again just my opinnion. Out of the 3 I like the SS white dial. If you like thecleaner look, you should consider the WG 116519LN with the silver panda dial. |
