I have and tried it on. I'll see if I can dig up a photo.

I like it but it's very loud. The gold bezel and champagne subdials are blingy.

To me seems like the same dial as the Hulk, and green takes the background to the YG compared to a LV Sub where green is the spotlight. Only thing for better or worse is the green/YG contrast is much louder. I like it a lot, but wouldn't think it would be a good fit for a one and only or every day if that is what you would want.

Daytona 116508



It is awesome but I felt it was a bit too Christmas-y for me. Would have preferred an Olive like on the RG DD40.

Thats what I was thinking but haven't seen it in person. Mayors doesn't have any in their inventory system. Would have to order it from Rolex if they have it. Finding out today from AD.

Tried it a couple times, can't get over the non-ceramic bezel's on the Daytona. Would drive me nuts.

I tried it on and found the green dial surrounded by an ocean of gold to be mesmerizing.
AD had it in the display case for a little over three weeks before it was sold. At the time I was picking out the engagement ring for my now fiancé.

White gold, blue dial... mind blowing. Yellow Gold, green dial...

It’s definitely a particular configuration to style; but Conor McGregor handles it quite well IMO.
