Bingo.

And this watch’s matte dial is incredible. Looks amazing in pics. And even better in person.

So much better than a steel watch, precious metal equals a genuine luxury watch

Pictures of this really don't do it justice, but in real life it's just mesmerising, those who own it or have seen it in the wild know what I'm talking about.
Big congratulations!! I agree with you. I own this and the OF version of it. Love them both

From your pictures, it looks more like YG than RG.

Congrat! My favorite of all Daytona combinations. I have the 116528 version of this and have been considering using it as part exchange for a Patek 5712 but after seeing your pics I’m not sure I can anymore…

That Patek is pretty awesome but too much for my taste , much prefer a gold Daytona, especially with this dial, there is something about it I can’t quite explain, the warm color, the slightly vintage vibe, it’s just too cool

Yeah I think I agree. This used to be my favorite of all my watches but I kind of fell out of love with yellow gold especially over the last couple of years given how loud it wears and with the increased risk of theft. But its just sooooo good I think I would immediately regret parting with it.

The red ring does it for me in person. I own it too it’s it a fantastic watch. Dunno about not flashy as I have seen in some comments but it sure is pretty :)

I’m a lefty. I’ve been leaving the pushers unscrewed so easier to start the timer. That’s one thing I love about my Speedy, the ease of use. Now this is similar!
