I can only have one - SS black Daytona or WG Daytona OF

Hi guys, I was lucky enough last year to get a black dial Daytona from my AD which I wear as my daily. However I have always liked and used to own a few years back a WG Daytona (Ghost) on OF.

I can only own one and have as my daily - need help deciding please!

I traded in my black for this exact watch. Don't regret it.

Seeing them side by side, I like the SS better. The Oyster bracelet flows better than the OF band.

I far like the WG one over the SS but the above answer is mine as well. I’m not a far of the OF with dress clothes.

Can we get a ghost on a bracelet? That's the answer.

I think this is right because I’d love the WG on OF short term so would be my preference right this minute. The colour scheme is just so right.

But I imagine the OF won’t age as well as the SS - if I was buying for the very long term, I think the SS could be a keeper.

OF gets my vote. Precious metal and the OF is so comfortable

Two of the best looking IMO. But I would prefer the steel bracelet, hence my vote for the SS. But can't go wrong here.

OF is more special, I like the silver dial plus much rarer to see Oysterflex in the wild than oyster bracelet.

500 is timeless. That would be (and is) my choice.

Most people who have both will vouch for the 519 (OF Daytona)…. I think that tells you all you need to know.

SS black looks better than the WG on band.
