I completely agree. I think this watch looks good on the wrist already, and won’t look better with the DP dial. It would look better with a gen dial, but factoring in the high asking prices for gen blue dials, the stock APS dial looks great to me.
Here is a comparison of gen (right), APS stock (top left) and DP (bottom left). APS looks OK to me, but of course, YMMV. Looking at the three dials like this makes me think the sub ring issue is not as bad as people make it out to be. It may be more or less of an issue depending on the lighting and the angle of the watch.

Hi. Do the links screw out? No right? They’re pressed in? Pins?

For those who haven’t sized the ceramic bracelet yet, the pins look like this, they have these super tiny friction things, I didnt even notice the friction bits at first as most stayed attached to the bracelet link. Be careful not to lose them. It took a fair about of pressure to pop the pin...

Good news. I think. I opened it up. Rotor started moving immediately. Searched for a loose screw but couldn’t find one. Replaced case back and all seems okay now.Mine arrived with a stuck rotor yesterday

Would take stock over DP. This is one that I have been eyeing but haven't pulled the trigger. Looking for the right dial / case color. I really want RG, but the black ceramic is great too. Blue is one color I've always steered from due to it always being off, but it looks better on this model.I completely agree.

Spoke too soon. Balance wheel wasn’t spinning after I put it back together. Took it apart again and got it spinning. Finally, a screw fell out. Rotor spins but not freely. Seems to “spring” back in place. And crown is super gritty now.

That'll be 50 bucks for Reap's replica diagnosis
My gut says you should service it. All 4401 clones so far have reported butter smooth almost dead silent winding so a gritty crown and the screw issues means I'd take precautions.
UGH! Reminds me of the GMT II I got in. Stopped on me twice. Brand new, I opened the caseback and found a screw. Put it back together, stopped again. After pulling the top bridge off and the balance wheel, AH, there lies another screw against the pallet for in the escapement. Very frustrating, yet satisfying to fix. Needless to say I tightened ever damn screw before closing it back up. Works like a charm! Hopefully yours will do the same!
I hate gritty crowns!!!!!
Both of my Le Mans Daytonas sound like metal springs popping when I'm screwing the crown down. WTF!
