I'm ordering a gen spec Yuki dial for my 6265 but can't decide which dial colour to go for. It's currently black dial with silver subdials but sometimes I think I'd like a change and in some photos the silver dial with black subdials looks stunning!

 

So, what do you all think?!

 

It will definitely be one or the other as I don't want a Paul Newman dial, here's pics of both to help you decide!

As we all tend to have too many black watches anyway and this looks fantastic with the bright dial ... the silvery/white one

All over the black DC..... Think it looks fantastic both ways but the place with white dials really stands out as classy for me.

 

However as the poll is showing (at this moment) it's 50:50 after 10 votes.... That almost makes it harder to decide haha

Yeah thanks guys, haha!!

 

I think I'm leaning towards the black dial with silver subdials, mainly because the missus won't notice so I don't have to tell her how much it costs!!

Not trying to be different...

Well, actually I am... for me, Silver with Black sub-dials..

But if offered the Black with white dials, I wouldn't object to that either.

For me it's silver dial with black subs. After all, it's called a Panda, right ;)

That is really nice!! If only Yuki or Ingod did a version of this!!

 

As it happens I've decided to go for the black dial with silver subdials. I do love the silver dial, but I already have a silver dial 6263, and variety is the spice of life!!

 

In pretty sure this won't be my last vintage Daytona, and once I've got one with a Yuki dial I doubt I'll settle for a standard cartel dial next time so will get the next one modded too, I'll end up with both styles in the end I'm certain!

Check my original post, I'm asking about dial not bezel, it's a 6265 so has a steel bezel!!

I have the alpha homage of this with black dials and silver subdials and I love it but I always wish I got the white with black subdials, grass is always greener and all that I guess...

Polished bezel, of course Balders! Though I did go a little far with the vintagizing so if it didn't polish up I might have to source a new bezel. Any suggestions mate?
