I'm a bracelet guy, so the first one.

That being said, staying for the comments.

The bracelet option and PM bezel for a more dressy and stylish look.

If this is your first PM, then you must go full PM bracelet. OF is awesome (I own one), but it comes after you have a full PM bracelet.

Also, I personally do not care for black dials on OF. Too dark overall and not enough contrast.

It looks much, much better in solid gold than on Oysterflex. On the other hand, it will be incredibly comfortable to wear with properly fitted rubber.

Thanks for much everyone for your comments, loving it!

Personally I think the PM is gorgeous esp now when the rose gold is lighter than previous series.. just not sure if it’s too loud? What do you think?

I am in the same predicament. One day I want the full rose gold Daytone, the next day I want the Rose gold with Oysterflex. Both have their pros and cons. The only thing that I can think of swaying me either way is the bezel. The full rg will scratch and the ceramic will not. That's where I am, still no decision made. I have a feeling if the AD called me and said I have one of those, I will buy it.....so for me, first come, first serve!

I'd also suggest trying them both on. The dial also matters of course, and you may not be able to try on the exact configuration that you have selected, but at least you will be able to see how each fit on you. I've worn both, and there is, to me, a marked difference in comfort and weight.

I've always been in the bracelet over strap camp. So, easy choice for me.

Exactly same

If you’re going to go gold, you gotta go all in

I was offered a full yellow gold and a OF 126518.

I went with the OF as I thought the yellow gold was too loud (for me). Even with the OF - the yellow gold is loud. Can’t comment on the rose gold as I have it tried it though.

I guess you have to try both and see how you feel. Whatever you choose - wear it with pride!

I like the oyster bracelet, also not a fan of Oysterflex.
