I like it

I feel the Roman numerals and the meteorite dial go hand in hand.
The Old World numerals over the the ancient dial work

I also agree with the leather strap too. Feel it helps pick up the character of the overall appearance.

Undecided...like meteorite dials in general but on the Daytona with matching subdials still not sure. Maybe if there was a little more contrast with black on the subdials.

It is cool though.

Not for me. I think the dial is confusing style wise - dial and bezel does not work together.

Roman numerals don't belong on a sports watch.

I thought the same. I was in an AD last week and the boys were mental for it they all wanted to see it and loved it.

Cool looking but if I was in the Daytona market I'd like this one, White gold, blue face.
