Second Incoming Daytona 116500 :)
I got lucky with one of my ADs last week and received a call for a 116500 with black dial. Needless to say I literally dropped what I was doing and made the trek to pick up the watch.

While I initially thought the white dial 116500 would never come off my wrist, the black dial has me memorized and I've literary not taken it off in 10 days. The glossy black dial in person looks 100x better than in any pics I've seen.

Needless to say, I will wear the heck out of these until my PP 5712 arrives in a few months.

I have to say, the feeling evoked when wearing either of these two magnificent pieces hasn't been surpassed with even some of the PM pieces I've acquired over the years.

Cheers,
Paul

Ps ( I will be taking the sticker off the case shortly. Just need to enjoy that crisp, new watch feeling a little longer!)

At the moment it's really hard to say. Will post an update in a month. But at the moment this has an ever so slight edge. :)

I'm betting on my black myself!! I think the black dial is hands down the better of the two IMHO. Enjoy yours, still waiting for that call.

Thanks, and I absolutely agree. The comfort is unparallelled.
