The overall look does little for me, but the real death blow (which I have highlighted many times online) is the 9 o'clock sub dial. The digit where a 6 should be is actually a 9. Look carefully, the numbers are facing in. A mistake, or just to make easier to read? I dunno, but it does my head in. Why didn't Rolex lay out that sub dial like the others, and use 12, 4 & 8? The problem would be avoided and the watch would be better balanced. It's a really dodgy bit of design in my opinion.

    Sorry, and I know it won't spoil your enjoyment of the watches.
    I remember reading one of your posts on this...and promptly got the black dialed daytona?lol.
    Maybe this is a sign for gnuyork??

    Part of me wants to put it on a brown strap just to enable u...

    Indeed not my favourite models (those would be the ND sub, and the sbgh001, I *think*) but nice enough!

    I have never warmed to any Daytona but wouldn't the world be boring if we didn't have different opinions.

    I'm not a big fan of gold but I like white dials (even though don't own any yet). They are both very cool watches.
