Panda
This blue dial is muted and doesn’t look nice w gold. IMHO

Chime101 · 21 November 2017, 09:10 PM

Panda gets my vote. Stunning with real wrist presence

DocHolliday · 21 November 2017, 09:20 PM

Blue gets my vote. Very stylish and elegant.

I prefer the blue.

Racerdj · 21 November 2017, 09:34 PM

I am no help as I am stuck at 50-50. Absolutely no wrong answer.

Bigsoftee · 21 November 2017, 09:36 PM

I had exactly the same dilemma. I ended up going for the blue face only as at the time I did not have such a coloured face in my collection. I should have got both!

Investr · 21 November 2017, 11:51 PM

Thanks for all the responses and opinions!

rmlovett1 · 22 November 2017, 12:40 AM

Tough one...the panda (other than the platona) is my favorite Daytona dial. I’d say this and your DaytonaC are different enough to have in a collection. If you don’t have a blue dial, I’d probably lean that direction. Either one is the right choice!

Al1969 · 22 November 2017, 12:52 AM

Go Panda.

carfanatic991 · 22 November 2017, 01:11 AM

I’d go with the panda.

watchwatcher · 22 November 2017, 01:17 AM

A lot of love for both models, and for good reason...they're both winners.

You know, one thought that I haven't seen voiced about the panda is the sub dial gold hands tend to get lost against the black background. I think function-wise, the red shows up much better against the blue.

If function actually matters to you.

Blue really nice!

Rocco21 · 22 November 2017, 01:21 AM

I’ve had both and the panda was my favorite.Cant go wrong either way but the panda is the clear winner to me.

chloebear · 22 November 2017, 01:22 AM

Two great choices. If it were me I'd go for the blue dial. It's much more unique. I'm not a huge fan of two tone watches, but that blue dial Daytona may have made me a believer.

RichM · 22 November 2017, 01:23 AM

I had that Panda and let it go for the white dial 116500. If I to do it all over again, I'd still go Panda.

In your case, I'd chose blue. I like BNIB.

melrob1 · 22 November 2017, 01:31 AM

Blue with the yellow gold is such great combo!

tbonesteak · 22 November 2017, 01:33 AM

Panda

tomchicago · 22 November 2017, 01:34 AM

Not a fan of the 2 tone on this reference at all. Just go stainless.

stefs · 22 November 2017, 01:35 AM

the blue is just lovely. definitely my choice

FreddyNJ · 22 November 2017, 02:15 AM

BLUE!!!

Phil G. · 22 November 2017, 02:30 AM

They're both beautiful. Color is so subjective, whether on a watch or on a car. Only YOU can decide which one lights you up. Wear them both and you'll know. Doesn't matter that I prefer the blue one. What matters is which one you love more.

Devildog · 22 November 2017, 02:36 AM

Does the BNIB blue dial from your AD have the current bezel style? Like this one?

If so that would swing it for me.

If not, then panda

stevedrk · 22 November 2017, 02:41 AM

Panda dial is so sexy and will go with anything.

Bobcat09 · 22 November 2017, 05:40 AM

Blue

For sure this bezel, and I'd go blue with your white 500.

Panda dial is also easy to source as an extra swap in.

Tangier11 · 22 November 2017, 07:52 AM

The blue I think goes better with the two tone IMHO

no sir, its the prior model (116523) but its new. Panda would have to be used.

Walts · 22 November 2017, 08:04 AM

Me personally PANDA all day long. Good luck deciding

droptopman · 22 November 2017, 08:27 AM

Blue dial of these two. Blue looks classy and sporty. Dig the red accents.

IMO the white dial TT looks better with the classic white/gold with stick indices.

Karle12 · 22 November 2017, 09:41 AM

The blue dial is stunning, I would take that in a heart beat
