My New Daytona incoming

Made a thread which you may or not have seen about a trade which I went ahead with:

Anyhow here’s my new addition. Never actually been on my radar and I’ve never seen the dial in person. Decided to go ahead with the trade based on pics alone, I have and have had Daytonas so I know what they look like and how they wear, However I did not fully expect to love this dial as much as I do this is probably the best looking watch I own - dare I say it’s much more beautiful than my platinum Daytona.

The outter red ring on the outside edge of the dial really gives it another dimension and wow factor when the light hits it - and as everyone who’s seen me post here knows, I love yellow gold. I’ve stumbled across a watch I always needed in my collection without even knowing it!


A few photos …

Huge congratulations, and thrilled that you went with the trade! The Paul Newman style dial is stunning and pops with the yellow gold bezel. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of this!

Awesome pick up and trade deal Jay. Looks great on your wrist

Our tastes on certain watches are very similar. You love your SD43 and I have been looking at a few

I cant find any good deals/or land one from my A D on a 505 so I have also been looking at this exact same combo being I have my Chocolate dial 515 so maybe I just go 508 instead

Only differences are you have been acquiring and I have been "looking" to acquire

Congrats again brother. Well done

Shortly after I bought mine in 2000, we were on holiday in Geneva and saw one like yours. I was totally gobsmacked by the black with gold subdials. Amazing looking still! Enjoy it!
