Which blue dial ROC?

I'm looking to add a blue dial watch to my collection preferably a chrono, and even-though I have always wanted the Panda ROC, since I already have a Daytona Panda WG which I can not see myself let go, I was thinking of a blue dial ROC instead. Stuck on these two dials though. I have never seen them in person so it's very hard to decide...

The all blue dial and blue sub dials has all white markers and hands, very nice contrast.

The second one has a silver finish around the markers and hands, and adds the orange which mixes well.

Tough choice

legibility can be an issue w the blue on blue.

I like the blue with orange, but I also have a volcano, so it's a biased view.

I like the contrast and character of the white subdials. It's a really awesome look.

The blue subdial ROC is classic, original and has a more lasting appeal.

I like the white but I would like it more without the orange.

Agree clashes a bit with the blue, but goes well with black like on my PO.
