Likewise, there will be more 116500's than 116519's - but that's simply because people probably don't see the justification in spending an addition £12k.

I think the Sky Dweller is a dog of a watch to look at, it holds zero appeal, but I believe most on here love it.

It's funny that you say that because I think that the 116600 is Rolex's best sports watch of the ceramic era but the audience didn't like it, as you say.

The Daytona is a victim of the hype machine. It's somewhat attractive now, with the ceramic bezel improving visibility, but the pre-ceramic in-house model was unreadable and odd-looking, yet still had a massive fan following and waitlist.
