Absolutely torn between these two......
Well the watch bug has bitten me big time! I'm eyeballing one of these 2 TT Daytonas. Which do you guys like more bc I'm 50/50. I like the Panda a hair more but I have the 116500 white dial and the Panda is a little similar. Any thoughts and opinions appreciated..... BUT I LOVE blue.

The blue dial Daytona is my favorite TT combo.

I had the panda, and loved it. But, honestly, I think if I was doing it all over again, I would do the blue.
Tried it on once at the AD and it was all I could do to give it back to the nice lady. |

Get a feel of both watches on your wrist but I'm pretty sure you'll be more inclined towards the Rock Star look of the Panda !

I have a white one and I love it.
Someone once gave me some good advice regarding choosing watch faces. Look at them and consider them in other than perfect lighting situations as well. Example, I'm older than most on this forum and I have a DJ with a black face that I don't wear much because it is hard for me to read the time in poor light. (of course my answer was to buy a white face DD, but that is another story). You will love either of these they are both beautiful |

Personally, I love the contrast of the "Panda" dial. Given the fact you've got a thing for blue that should be the one you go with though. Not an easy choice here! Also depends on what else you've got in the collection. If you don't have anything with a blue dial yet all the more reason to do so now

I've stared at these for 10 minutes and still can't decide! Sorry no help here! Good luck, I now see your dilemma!

I'm fond of blue and a darker color on the dial.

I’d hold out for the WG blue Daytona if you like blue dials. I also think the Arabic numbers on the panda with the whole panda sub-dials is a little busy.
Truthfully I would prefer the white DayC you already have to either of these, but I know that’s not the right answer on TRF.

It's funny Rick, I've been thinking of adding a TT Daytona to my lineup! Infact these are my two top choices as well!
Of the two, I think I prefer the Panda Dial.

Trace, that should round out that amazing Daytona collection! I like the Panda a hair more but id have to buy it pre-owned and the blue is brand new from an AD at a great price. As a buddy pointed out just now, I could always buy a Panda dial later and swap the dial later. Decisions decisions....

I would be leaning towards the blue but I am a sucker for the combination in general.

I love the panda dial in pictures although I have not seen it in real life, but I have tried on the blue dial and loved it. Sadly I did not take a wrist shot when the AD had it in stock a while back...

I think I saw a pic of John Rahm wearing the same blue dial earlier this week.
