Big fan. Not sure how I feel about spending that much on a non PM bracelet, but it looks great.

Heck of a good looking watch but I think for the price it should come with a bracelet.

It’s a very good looking watch. As far as the price, it’s right under $30K and one with the full bracelet is under $37. So you’re paying around $7K for 12 links. So in my opinion the price for the OF is justified.

I initially hated this one. Over time I have really come to enjoy it. The way the dial blends with the WG really makes the sub-dials pop. It
Is legible. It is badass. It is coherent. It is unabatedly sporty yet also luxurious.

I would like one, but am waiting for a bracelet iteration.

It’s been popular since release. Many forums members waiting months for it.

Best Daytona, including edging out Platona by a hair.

Also, if paying gray for white dial, might as well just get WG at list price.

The new hype watch !

Beautiful watch. Just received my SS white Daytona C from my wonderful dealer - and I have put in an order for the WG OF. I tried the rose gold and LOVED it. But the WG one is out of this world...

My AD said they will get it for me in approx 6 months from now - so hopefully by my birthday (Feb!) or who knows, Xmas!!

Lovely. Rolex sports are bracelet watches. Always have been. I want an Oyster bracelet. Rubber being optional. Orrr an entirely new model on rubber. That doesn't look better on oyster bracelet. Unlike a Daytona. Just me. Still lovely.

Not at all "hype." The WG Daytona is the real deal.

The silver sunburst dial provides a texture and substance to the dial that's sorely lacking on the 116500LN. And unlike the 116500LN (and most modern Daytonas), the subdials are actually complete and filled in. Literally the only way Rolex could improve the dial is if they eliminated some of the text and made it a little cleaner. At that point, it'd look very close to the "big red" Daytonas of yesteryear, only with an improved bezel and improved movement.

The oysterflex just tops it off.

Not a big chrono fan, but if I ever purchased one - that would be the one. Beautiful!

No hype from my angle. Who wouldn't love to snatch one of these?

I can't get warm with this watch. Something with the grayish or yellowish tone of the watch that I don't like. Much prefer the contrasts of the white 500C or the YG OF black/champagne dial.

The case, dial color, bezel and sub dials are perfectly matched, its a beauty. Sadly, I don’t like the OF band so it’s a hard pass. If they ever introduce that config in wg on a bracelet I’d buy it.
