Not sure what we think, but I think these are probably exhibition watches, and I prefer the SS version.

They probably said “we have a couple of Daytona’s that are already sold that you can look at but these aren’t for sale”

Get the rose gold watch. The SS has a scratch on the side.

Both look great. I would chose either of those over a white dial daytona. I have never been a big fan of the hour indices on the Daytona dial. The ones on the rose gold version solve that problem for me plus the whole aesthetic of the dial looks really good. I'd choose that one.

I’m starting to not care for the rings on the sub dials of the SS models.

That’s because it IS bigger. Look at the lugs. RG has larger lugs bilaterally. Also the SS has the thinner lug on the right side

So you saw some beautiful Daytonas. Which particular watch are you even trying to buy? Especially since you didn't inquire on the black dial daytona and it's availability.

But, after seeing the rose gold Daytona, I might get a Daytona Oysterflex in RG as well (sunburst dial I think). |

I prefer the broader lugs of the RG and WG models. More presence.

Not to derail, but I'd never noticed/known that about thicker lugs on the PM. What's weird, looking at the Rolex website and seeing the watches side-by-side, is that it seems it applies to RG/WG, but that YG/PT are same as SS. Why would that be?

Love the stickers. Sought after and even more rare than the watches in the wild. Besides that, then I much prefer the RG Daytona.

We think we like the pic.
We have been appeased. We approve.

No watches were harmed in the taking of this picture. :)
