Expensive? Maybe not a new direction yet. ;)
I thought you have your mind set for the vintage rolex, I might be wrong.
As for the swapping the dial on the WG Daytona. I believe we can buy the dial are separately directly from rolex. I'm just not sure will Rolex sell them to a non WG Daytona owner. If yes then voila! Racing Dial without paying for a WG case.
I believe I have seen a combination like that somewhere. Try doing a search.
Wish you good luck on your horological adventure.

...I liked it so much that I bought it, after years of reluctance to get a Sub (primarily due to the clasp design used on its predecessors) and prior ownership of, among others, 2 Omega Seamasters, 2 Omega Planet Oceans, 1 G.O. Sport Evolution Chronograph...
That piece...

Certainly fits the criteria for an everyday wear... It got the look of the classic submariner, yet it has a useful GMT function on it... I really like the color... And yes I have the same complain as you... I don't like the polished bracelet on the modern...

Green crystal Milgauss. Tried one on recently at a Rolex boutique and its been hard to get out of my head. After that, the new Explorer. Even with the short minute hand, a great watch and a perfect case size.
