I think it looks good, the PM dials are nice and I would be tempted to do the same with panda or slate dials. With a ceramic bezel there is no danger of trying to fool anybody so I'm good with it.

Not for me, but doesn’t look terrible. I think some endlinks and a gator strap would make match better.

Haha there’s no denying that my friend. But the dial is so dressy looking I think it would look better on leather.

Not my cup of tea. I find the Daytona hard enough to read as it is

I think the black ceramic bezel frames the meteorite very nicely.

The watch isn't for me, but I agree with this to an extent.

I kinda agree, I love the idea of and behind the Meteorite but it is a little busy for me, esp with subdials.

The black bezel is a bit like chilli salt, it just seasons and sizzles everything around it.

Will definitely cause "double takes" . Awesome older Daytona dial.

Its different. A little too much going on for me but I'm in the minority because I'm not a fan of the meteorite dials.

When I get my 116500 I will not abuse it like this.
A Daytona is for life, not just for Christmas.

I’m over my mod period so I’d say nah. I just found servicing modded watches was an extra headache due to added costs and time.

Never liked romans on the Daytonas I think it messes with the flow around the bezel text. Meteorite looks good.
