Not bad looking but just can't get behind it I'm afraid as its SS , WG, Plat combination doesn't work for me

ppalasthira · 26 March 2016, 07:52 PM

How did you manage to source these parts? Looks... Interesting.

alika · 26 March 2016, 07:53 PM

yes interesting indeed.
but I like it

timtom33 · 26 March 2016, 08:39 PM

I'd have been tempted to go for white gold bezel and white gold dial. This is is just obviously an after market job and I'd think it was a fake before thinking it had been customised. Everyone knows how a platona should look and this ain't it mate.

Flex368 · 26 March 2016, 08:42 PM

Great, a double-wanna-be-PM-Daytona.

Drjamesie · 26 March 2016, 08:48 PM

I would assume there would not be much love for this on here for a couple of reasons, firstly most love to keep everything original and secondly people spend a lot to get that ice blue dial and this feel like a shortcut. Personally I say it's your watch and if it makes you happy rock on!

Love the glacier blue dial but could only be happy with it on the platinum reference.

Passionata · 26 March 2016, 09:14 PM

looks great though i wouldn t change the bezel , the dial itself does the job .

Evad3 · 26 March 2016, 09:20 PM

I wouldn't personally dress a SS up as a PM but there's no denying it looks great

Many congratulations on the finished product!

normandy · 26 March 2016, 09:39 PM

I personally think the ice blue baguette diamond dial will look better on metal bezel.

I like it with brown bezel and platinum bracelet better

This....x2

ragingcao · 26 March 2016, 10:12 PM

Looks a bit off. Maybe too used to that dial w the chestnut bezel. Lack of contrast, I guess. But whatever tickles your fancy.

brandrea · 26 March 2016, 10:15 PM

Interesting modification.

returntorolex · 26 March 2016, 10:51 PM

What dial did you have on the Daytona originally? Are you planning on getting the ceramic bezel to match?

ferrissteve11 · 26 March 2016, 10:52 PM

Interesting mod...though I'd go for the diamond baguette dial myself. Personally I think it looks alright and if it makes you happy go for it !!

landroverking · 26 March 2016, 10:55 PM

I think it looks great, however I could never do it.

This would've been the cherry on top for sure!

OP. I think it looks GREAT, better then the actual PT Daytona, to me.

Not sure why the hate though, guys put the WG Dials on the SS Daytonas all the time and no one complains about them.

johnnyjazz · 26 March 2016, 10:58 PM

Wow, I think it looks fantastic, very clean and sharp. I think there will be quite a few bastardised steel daytonas when the ceramic bezel becomes available.

Hodog16 · 26 March 2016, 11:03 PM

Sourcing parts is easy if you are willing to pay for it. That dial was on eBay recently. Sourcing parts for retail, that's the difficult one.

It's an interesting switch and one we haven't seen before. I swapped out a panda WG dial on a SS before and while it looked great, I felt like I was cheating myself without having the true PM reference. I'll never modify a watch again.

ratty · 26 March 2016, 11:20 PM

I don't think I would do it, but I also think it looks OK and ultimately it's what you like.

tmehanna · 26 March 2016, 11:39 PM

To be honest, my first impression would be the watch is fake.

Lgear080 · 26 March 2016, 11:46 PM

Having had a couple opportunities to buy the dial I always took a pass.
The watch looks great, but the number of people who are looking for this
Package is really limited. The bezel on the other hand I've never seen.
I'm also not sure if the case is 100% identical for install.

uncufunc · 26 March 2016, 11:52 PM

Nice..i like it. And kudos for subverting exclusivity

soundserious · 27 March 2016, 12:35 AM

I like the look, cool. And to be honest people seem to have "accepted" custom Daytonas. I see lots of threads showing new dials and hands so there's definitely a group of people that is supportive.

dominic.warren · 27 March 2016, 12:38 AM

Hey your watch my friend. Wear her in good health.

kilyung · 27 March 2016, 12:50 AM

I get the dial but

why a WG bracelet?

simongpaez · 27 March 2016, 12:52 AM

Not a fan of mods , but what matters is you like it.
