Battle between the Ghost & Pikachu
Thinking about adding an Oysterflex Daytona next & split between the Ghost or the Pikachu.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks all

The 518 is stunning! But that’s based on the impression of the previous generation. Losing the black hour markers hurt the new 518 a little. 519 is nice as well, but I prefer the black dial 519 over the Ghost.

I vote for the 518.

Hate the nickname Pikachu but It gets my vote. It's the watch I'm hoping to add next. Tried it on recently and was blown away by it.

The WG is also stunning though, so Id say ask for both and take the first one that gets offered!

The “Pikachu”? First time I’ve heard that one…., and I wish I hadn’t. Right up there with the toe-curling, cringe inducing “Cookie Monster” on the scale of awful nicknames.

Pikachu on the YG bracelet is my favorite watch Rolex makes. However, on the Oysterflex, my choice is the ghost.

518 for me.

And agree, Cookie Monster is ridiculous. But let’s not start that one again

I would choose the white gold version between those two.

I'm all for calling things whatever you want but I think it's getting a bit out of hand and iconic nicknames (that actually made sense) no longer mean anything as the community throws random names at each new model until something sticks, even if it doesn't make sense.

Think they should rename TRF to the silly nickname children aged between 4-5 year old kindergarten forum.

These don't even look worthy to have a battle. Very underwhelming references if not ugly looking in my opinion. Much better looking Daytonas out there.

Exactly these nicknames help with hyping these references, and the more Rolex references grey dealers manage to hype the more they make money. Grey dealers can't survive on waiting for flippers to sell them steel Daytonas and Pepsi GMT only, the more they hype other references the more they make money. It's all a marketing game.
