Did you have your AD order this in special for you? It looks very classy.

I bought the SS in July and got hooked, I then got fascinated with the Platona but couldn't go there, my attention then moved to the WG.
I called into my AD hoping to find that either they didn't have one or that I wouldn't like it, wrong on both counts
My SS was black and I liked the idea of them looking the same, the diamonds were a bonus.
I got the full cost of the SS back against the purchase along with a good discount and an umbrella, happy days

Wow looks good. Did you have black dial SS before? Does it feel much different?

Yes it felt much heavier at first and different, now the weight is less of a surprise but feels more substantial overall. (if you know what I mean )

The only thing that I don't like about the WG Daytona is that I can't afford to buy one.

I'm in. And I am thoroughly enjoying this watch. IMO, it's every bit as elegant and handsome as the SS models, but with a slightly more pronounced 'motorsports' vibe.

Regards, -rick.

I'm considering buying the WG black racing dial but doesn't WG look exactly like the stainless steel daytona version and roughly 7-8k more in price is it worth it???

Absolutely not!! It's about 60 grams heavier and has a warm feel to it and it's more of a yellowish white metal than steel it platinum.
