116508 green or 228235 olive ??

As title. Need some advise here. I’m deciding which to get for my dad who is 76 this year. I’m leaning towards Daytona 116508 green but does it goes well with my old man?

Does he need to time things, or be told what day it is?

Why are you leaning toward the Daytona?

And...how do we know if it goes well with your dad?

Big decision - let your dad choose out of all stock at the dealership.

Thanks for the advise. I hv bought the RG DD Olive. Yet to bring it to him as we are about 400km apart, hope he likes it.

I did consider yellowgold Daytona green dial because it glows on me but it might be too macho for my old man I guess
