Next watch choice: Daytona OF
Torn between the ghost and the Paul Newman. I'm open to ideas from the members. What do you guys think?

Both amazing in their own right. One is more subdued, the other, more flamboyant. Which is your style?

You already have a WG piece on rubber so I would opt for YG and the best dial in regular production IMO is the Pikachu

Totally agree on the Pikachu but I prefer the discontinued version.

I have the silver dial WG on OF and it is one of my favorites and I wear it frequently. It looks great but many will think it is not WG.

I'm biased. I picked up this beauty from my AD in February. RG with a Sundust dial. A little more bling than the WG, but more subtle than YG. For me, a perfect match. Just love it.

Iv got the new “Pikachu”, as it seems a to be known as. The glidelock is a great edition.

It's "too much" yellow gold for me. I don't eat enough gabagool to make it work.

Which is why I am thinking the PN has just the right amount of yellow bling.

I already have a 5168G so this makes the ghost a bit difficult but what a beauty!

Black dial is the 3rd option. Very very underrated!

RG is too fierce for me

Do we know if the glidelock makes its way to the 12 series?

Always good to add a OF Daytona with an Aquanaut
Between the 2 you listed, would prefer the Ghost. But personally am waiting for the 519 with black dial.

Gorgeous watch, good choice. I have the WG with the black dial. I love the PM on OF. These are special watches. Whatever your choice OP, you will love the Ghost or the Paul Newman
