Velociphile - No longer in the building

Subjective aesthetics question: Which would you choose and why?
TwoToning maybe not for me and don't reallty like either dial option on the steels
so considering an Oysterflexed gold cased version.
So what are the thoughts on these:
1. stealthy and 6265 tribute?
2. sharpest looking?
3. most dramatic?
4. the 'nobody loves me' is Everose least popular?

My first response is #1 as well...
But the others on perhaps a leather strap would be strong.
The WG version is perfect.
I saw it in person two weeks ago and I find it to be the most cohesive design of the Ceramic Daytona. The grey dial offsets the black accents perfectly. Not as visually bold as the SS White Dial, and more contrast than the SS Black Dial.
No. 2
To me it has the best balance between the black and gold colors. I like a bracelet over the strap but that is a sharp looking watch.
No 1 looks, surpricesingly, spectacular
Judging by pictures I thought "bland and soleless". When seeing it, it was an eyeopener: very, very nice WG watch! However, as a YG loving person it has to be No 2, followed by No 3.
I love the WG
I don't think any Rolex is stealth... or in any way under the radar... I think anyone wearing such a watch will be 'dis-covered' but... it's a gorgeous watch, and I vastly prefer it, aesthetically, to the steel variants.
Another option to consider
I had a similar dilemma a month ago and then came across this one. It won me over. If you aren't wedded to the oysterflex band, you may want to consider this one. ...
Well it's a 60%+ win for the WG with no takers for Everose
and 80%+ for a Panda dial. I wonder why the lack of interest in Everose? Velociphile
