Would you.....

I've caught a bad Daytona fever recently - can't seem to take my eyes off certain dials.

Today, I had the opportunity to pick up this bnib/unworn wg Daytona with the steel grey panda dial for my 39mm SS ROC + 10k cash on top.

I already own 3 Daytonas (116520 black, 16519 WG w Zenith movement black dial on strap, and 116509 WG blue racing dial) so not sure if the WG with steel panda dial is necessary. But it keeps tugging at me.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Hi Ken, I like the wg Dayton better but I’m AP all the way, lol. You don’t need that many Daytona’s. Go with the wg

I prefer the ceramic bezel on the WG Daytona on oysterflex. Since you have a few Daytona’s already, maybe hold off and see if they’ll introduce one on bracelet in the next year or two. The dial is stunning, but for some reason doesn’t do it for me without the ceramic bezel.

Hands down Daytona in my opinion, stunning dial, perfect chrono.....you'd never get that Daytona off my wrist.

The WG Daytona dial ist a real beauty but I wouldn´t do it due to fact that you own more than one Daytona.
If you only want D in your collection....go for it.

Just from a dollar perspective that seems like a good deal. I would do it.

I'm the same, hold the AP until a CE WG comes out, without it the steel dial is just too monotone for me.

You're right Neil, a CE WG Daytona on bracelet would be ideal. I do love the look of the CE WG on Oysterflex but I still prefer the weight of a full braceleted Daytona over one on OF or alligator.

Will keep fingers crossed Rolex rolls out PM Daytonas on bracelet with CE bezels next year.

I'll enjoy this in the meantime!

For sure a CE WG Daytona on bracelet would check off a lot of boxes for me! Let's hope it becomes reality in the next year or two.
