A gold Daytona for daily wear and much more ...
My 116528 is the oldest watch in my collection. There have been periods when I have worn it daily for months at a time during the last 17 years. In this configuration, it's still one of my favorite Rolex watches of the modern period. Here it is this morning after a couple of days in the hot and humid Japanese weather. I didn't even wipe it clean. This is it in its natural, uncleaned, smudges & all condition and it's still good company as I have my coffee and read the forum this morning. I had this watch serviced once several years ago at RSC Tokyo. It has without exception been a very good, dependable watch that sometimes seems elegant and at other times seems like a hard core tool watch, believe it or not. Maybe it's the matte finish on the dial that makes it such a chameleon. This photo isn't very good in the current light here, but this watch still essentially looks like it did the day I bought it.
 And out and about a short while ago.

Love mine (116508); don't wear mine as a daily, only for special occasions.

Great cars! I had a 3 door (same model year).
Love the watch too. [/QUOTE]Thanks! And the fact my color choice for the Mini almost exactly matches my 116500LN white "Panda dial" Daytona is purely accidental!

Beautiful watch! Not typically into Daytonas as heavily as many here but the PM ones are really a beautiful thing

Been debating whether to upgrade to the JCW version now or wait for the next generation. Unfortunately, I don't have a Daytona to match! |
