    OK - so I have all the parts to put together a NOS Speedy in a 145.0022 case.

    Trying to decide which dial to use, any thoughts:

    Option 1: Japanese Racing

    Option 2: Snoopy

    Option 3: Chocolate (if I can find it)

    Option 4: Panda

    personally I would go chocolate, I love the panda but for me to use white hands on a white dial make it too hard to tell the time.

    If you're gonna make a franken, do it Godzilla style and go with the Japanese racing dial. Second choice is the panda.

    I'd go the panda as well, its the most striking of the dials.

    I have the white dial too, with standard hands and I've just bought a Japanese racing dial (standard Speedmaster) to go on my MkII - I prefer this dial to the MkII racing dial.

    My white Speedy and Panda (hands to be changed soon as I dont really like these ones)

    +1 for the panda. stands out the most while also looking relatively classy.

    Though I agree with a prior comment that the darker hands would look better on the white dial if you can find those and incorporate in the build.

    I still have the dial, hands & bezel from this Speedy.
    If you want them (1/2 price) let me know.
    This dial is grey.
