Dial change on SS Dayona - which one?

I have thought about getting the SS Daytona but would like to change the dial. What is your vote - Panda, Meteorite, white Arabic racing dial, blue dial with Arabic numbers? or some other option? Which one would you change it to and do you have any pics to go with it? thanks :)

Slate with a red hand set. I think Walter "waQstar" has one in the TRF Rolex accessories classifieds.

Panda. But I prefer the SS dial. Love the silver concentric circles; they really give the dial depth.

Meteorite, but it can be harder to read the time. But gorgeous. I prefer batons first, then Roman numerals. Personal preference is what it comes down to.

Where can one buy a Panda dial to fit a 116520 (not the one off the WG...don't like the numerals)?

Imagine an object as old as the universe. This object hurdles through trillions of billions of miles in a vacuum of darkness. It finds its way to our humble planet and crashes in to our planet in a firey ball of burning red hot iron. When it strikes the planet it blows a hole the size of a house in its crust.

If you will forgive me, I don't think meterites are feminine and I must disagree with you.

That all said, if I could put a metor piece in my Daytona I would in a heartbeat.

The blue dial is my favorite in the current Daytona line.
