That Daytona Feeling Has Returned

Just picked this one up -116503. I really missed not having a Daytona in my rotation. Had a couple over the years and it feels good to be back. Sometimes that itch must be scratched. The legibility of the black dial with the gilt printing is excellent. And the contours of the case make this super comfortable.

Congratulations! Underrated variant, I have been looking at the white dial version for a while but the increased legibility of the black dial is undeniable.

OP, I love that watch! I admit, I was caught up in the ceramic Daytona hype, and although a bad-ass watch (especially the black dial), I could never justify its grey price. This reference, the 116503 with black dial, is gorgeous. One day I hope to add it to my SS SubC and GMT. Congrats!

Congrats. On the TT, I prefer the black dial to white or champagne. Looks pretty good.

I had the white dial years ago. It was difficult to read so I traded it for something. The black dial, as I mentioned, is very legible.

Thanks. I like the vibe. The Yellow gold is quite subtle. It easily transitions from sport to dress.

I agree. More comfortable than my BLRO on jubilee or my Explorer.
