116500
Hi All
Some advice/opinions would be appreciated I bought a 116503 (Daytona Bi Metal Black face) which at the time was my Grail watch...problem is I have never really fell in love with it ☹️ I have since bought a Pepsi that I love and also even wear my Breitling Bentley a lot more than I do the Daytona Question is, I have my name on a 116500 Which is white face, Steel, of course, will this wear any bigger than the black face Bi metal in your opinions? The Pepsi seems to wear a lot bigger and obviously the Breitling does, but the Daytona feels tiny! I have 7” wrists. I’m really hoping it’s because my Bi metal is black face that it just “seems small” Interested to know the opinions of those that may have either or both Thanks |

The Daytona is 38.5 mm and wears as such. I have a 7.5-7.75 inch wrist and own two PM Daytona's and they wear as they are. Years ago I got into the larger watches and would not hear of anything smaller but times and tastes change. I have learned that there is room in my collection for watches of all sizes and when I transition from one to the other I just need to give it a little wrist time and I adjust visually. I found the white dial SS Daytona-C to appear smaller than the black dial for me. I would focus on the TT aspect of the watch as opposed to the dial color when determining how it looks. I think TT can be the culprit with regards to appearance with size. Get the SS Daytona-C, it is a great watch.

Daytona is a tad under 39mm, so it wears smaller for sure
I have the white and black dials 500 snd the white wears a little bigger on my 7.6” wrist For a 7” wrist you should be fine with both When you get the call, go try it and see for yourself

I have a YG Daytona and a 116500. I have a 7 inch wrist, both watches look great on my wrist and I’ve never had a thought of big or small so no idea there but both are extremely comfortable to wear.

I'm kinda lost on the buying a grail but never really falling in love part. Sorry.
To answer your question, they all wear pretty much the same. And I've had them all. |

I think it could in theory, depending on your skin tone. The gold bezel on the 116503 might blend in with your skin color, and make it as though you're only seeing the dial, wheres the 116500 would create a clear separation.
Once I get out of my head and back to reality though, they probably both wear the same. |

Thanks for the replies guys, hopefully as a few have said the white face may seem to wear a bit bigger ...will give it a try when the call comes! |

I bought it from images on screen and then when it arrived I was underwhelmed as it seemed small
