Help me! Daytona OF 116519 or 116518?
I got offered 116519 the white gold with steel dial black subdials. My favorite one was 116518 yellow gold with champaign dial black subdials. However I never looked at the real watch of 116518. I tried on the 116519 and it looks great as well. Should I continue to wait for 116518?

I like white gold watches so for me it’s easy. And champagne dials are nearly impossible to read.

go with what you want and is your favorite, not what other people prefer

Thank you all for your input! I would appreciate someone who have seen both of these watches in person to tell their first impressions.

Can you get the WG for now and continue to wait?

This is an easy one for me too. I prefer the stealth look of WG. YG can attract the wrong attention and make you overly conscious of your watch.

Both look gorgeous.
For WG (116519), I would go with meteorite dial. For YG (116518), I would go with meteorite dial or black dial with champagne sub-dial.

Neither one, save up & get the full bracelet.
Of these two, I’d get the wg one.

And I'm afraid that Rolex will increase price next year. Anyone heard anything about price increase?

Yes. The yellow text on the black bezel is too much for me. Makes it looks kinda cheap looking IMO

If it’s from an AD at retail, I would say a bird in the hand. If you don’t like it, you will do good on the sale and you can get into a champagne dial w black subs. If you’re buying from a Grey, then I would get the champagne first. Ultimately both make sense in a collection.

IMO The white gold is understated beauty and elegance. I would jump on it.
