Smurf or Daytona WG on Oysterflex?
I am torn between these two. Would love to hear which one would you prefer? The Smurf from 2010 fullset in good condition and the 116519LN from 2019 used fullset. Price about the same. I have a 500C white dial and a 114060. Thanks

Both nice. Forced to choose. I'd say the WG Daytona. Either way, you'll have an awesome new watch. Good luck.

How is this a contest against a full wg piece??
Oysterflex is a novelty to add after you already have the pm bracelet. Smurf 1000x |

I voted with my wallet. The WG Daytona is my daily the last couple months and will likely stay my daily into 2021 and beyond. I had the white gold Pepsi for years but the oysterflex is just better. More comfy. Weight is balanced so well. And no worry of beating up the soft white gold bracelet. The head and clasp don’t get that beat up.

Was between these exact 2 when I made my decision and went with the 519. Love it! There's no wrong answer.

WG Sub. It's discontinued. If you can get one at a decent price go for it. I bought mine a year ago from my AD with a discount fearing it was going away. I have a SS Daytona and a 114060 and the WG Sub is in another league for feel and look.

You shouldn't be torn. WG Sub without question.

Smurf. The best thing about a PM piece is the weight, you won’t get all of that on OF.

No question about it...smurf.
It's such a nice piece and really pops. Plus the weight of it is very satisfying. Don't get me wrong, I love daytonas and own a bunch...but from this choice it's cleary the smurf but lately prices have gone through the roof. |

519 here. The smurf flat blue isn’t for me. Now slap a sunburst on that bad boy and totally different t answer

Neither given your collection. But since you asked, smurf every day of the week.

It's more a matter of what feels good for me than of appearance. Both are great watches but the Daytona would work much better for my wrist size than the Sub. It's really a choice that the buyer needs to be really clear on before buying is neither is a low priced purchase. IMHO, if outside sources need to be consulted in order to decide than it's not time to buy.

Sorry no brainer. Who cares about getting more gold. This watch is just better. Period.

Always full PM rather than OF.
Both lines are iconic, but this is an easy choice for me.
