No matter what you call it, congratulations to the OP for obtaining this latest in a long line of very difficult to get and fantastic looking new Daytonas!

My thoughts exactly.

Congratulations on your new watch.

I prefer this over my 116500ln so much so that I’m literally going to just buy it - wow - WAY BETTER

My new grail. How long did you have to wait? Did the AD have ANYTHING at all in stock? I am not sure if I should bother going over to Lee Michaels anymore since my AD closed.

Congratulations, wow, this is actually the first white dial Daytona I can actually say I like, in addition to liking it in the ceramic version.

Was not a fan of the first Daytona ceramics, love the black dial 520's, never took to the white dial 520's or 500's, but this one is spectacular in my opinion.

The symmetrical case, new movement, the beautiful bezel finally flush with the case, the steel bezel ring bringing it all together.

This is a home run, you must be elated, this white dial has caused me to actually consider a white dial in the future....awesome and I know you'll enjoy wearing this one.

[Tely]

[Chalet]

Awesome. The 116500LN is my daily but I have proper FOMO now!

Congratulations

Congratulations!🍾 fits perfectly.

[Armis]

Congratulations, especially after such a long wait

Before your picture, I was thrown off by the dissonance of the thinner subdial rings and the seemingly much larger crown/pushers. But your picture is so good that I see this in a different light and can appreciate the aesthetic.
Wear it in the best of health.

Also the thinner hours markers make the dial very pleasant…. And the overall symmetry create a beautiful watch …. Dont get me wrong the 11 series is a hella of a watch to

[JacksonRain]

Congrats on your Panda Daytona. Glad you got your Grail. Wear it in good health. Cheers!

What you or anybody else calls it is irrelevant. (Every WIS knows what a person is talking about when s/he says “Panda Daytona”, in any event — and that’s the point of communication.) It’s awesome looking on you!! Congratulations!
