Fantastic, huge congrats wear it in good health! Daytona and Porsche, what a pair. Would love some pics of the car, noticed alcantera on the steering wheel :) Also, is the watch a snug fit or wearing it loose? On your first pic it looks a bit loose on the sides but the other shots you posted make it look like a more snug fit. In either case congrats again, the WG model is really speaking to me..

Super jealous!

I've contacted three ADs about this exact watch and nobody has one for me

Enjoy in good health

Wow - that's amazing!

Just checked the UK website, and the only reference to this dial is in the YG non ceramic version.

So frustrating of Rolex not to show every dial/strap/case material combo available...

Enjoy your new purchase ...

Haha, the car is a GTS, I have a few pictures if you guys want...I'm a bit of a 911 collector as well. And the interesting thing about the way the oyster flex is constructed is the fins under the top sides of the strap does lift the strap up visually. The first picture, the fins were in contact but the strap a hair loose...so I went to my AD and had them put on one smaller sized strap (down from the already smaller strap they used) on the other side (if anyone has any care, I have a 7 inch wrist and do like things tight, so I had them use an EE and an ED strap and have the clasp setting in the middle of the 3 avail).

The strap is really comfortable, and brings an extremely unique look to the YG daytona which honestly, I couldn't wear the watch on a YG bracelet...it's just not my image.


As far as the cars...I'm sure Newman would approve, the car I took that pic in is a 2018 GTS




Which is part of this small family + 1 that is currently still in Cali





92 964



What has to be my favorite car ever made by Porsche alone that I've had, the '16 911R



And that rebellious West Coast child that honestly sets the bar for what an analogue sports car should be...The Philadelphia Commission Singer 911

You sold the 911R?!?!?

I hope you made a nice 6 digit profit.

Sweet mother of God... I'm a Daytona and Porsche guy as well but your 911s are killer. Don't want to hijack the thread but amazing.... where is the 918 :)

Oh, that thing isn't going anywhere! It's easily one of my favorite cars I've ever had and pretty under the radar 95 percent of the time.

Beautiful watch. I quite like that combo! Is that a 991.2 GTS in the background??!

Edit: Nevermind!! Just scrolled down to see the car pics and wow what an amazing collection. You have a singer 911!!?! Can you please post some pics of that?! My wife just decorated my office with a bunch of Singers. Have always been in love with them. Thanks!
