Hi guys, I was lucky enough last year to get a black dial Daytona from my AD which I wear as my daily. However I have always liked and used to own a few years back a WG Daytona (Ghost) on OF.

I can only own one and have as my daily - need help deciding please!

I traded in my black for this exact watch. Don't regret it.

Seeing them side by side, I like the SS better. The Oyster bracelet flows better than the OF band.

brandrea · 12 July 2023, 03:07 AM

I’ll always take a bracelet over a strap

puma1552 · 12 July 2023, 03:09 AM

Can we get a ghost on a bracelet? That's the answer.

stylinleems · 12 July 2023, 03:11 AM

WG OF would be my choice!

bullies · 12 July 2023, 03:15 AM

OF gets my vote. Precious metal and the OF is so comfortable

I think this is right because I’d love the WG on OF short term so would be my preference right this minute. The colour scheme is just so right.

But I imagine the OF won’t age as well as the SS - if I was buying for the very long term, I think the SS could be a keeper.

519 > either 500

Have both and prefer the black steel

PenDelicate · 12 July 2023, 04:09 AM

Daytona on black rubber is my ideal watch.

darrenho · 12 July 2023, 04:13 AM

As a daily? I'd choose the WG Daytona on OF.

Watch is not wife.
You can have more than one watches

Two of the best looking IMO. But I would prefer the steel bracelet, hence my vote for the SS. But can't go wrong here.

Solo118 · 12 July 2023, 06:30 AM

I would choose the 116519. Nothing beats PM

dlddrrr · 12 July 2023, 06:58 AM

OF is more special, I like the silver dial plus much rarer to see Oysterflex in the wild than oyster bracelet.

prnceofpersia23 · 12 July 2023, 09:35 AM

500 is timeless. That would be (and is) my choice.

Emery · 12 July 2023, 09:44 AM

Keep the 500 and save up for a trinity piece.

CHRONOLEX · 12 July 2023, 11:50 AM

Tough one but WG OF for me

Joearch · 12 July 2023, 02:59 PM

WG ……. No contest.

HMHM · 12 July 2023, 07:17 PM

Most people who have both will vouch for the 519 (OF Daytona)…. I think that tells you all you need to know.

HogwldFLTR · 12 July 2023, 07:26 PM

PM>>>SS, imho!!!

BraveBold · 12 July 2023, 07:29 PM

SS black looks better than the WG on band.

travisb · 12 July 2023, 07:31 PM

Full bracelet over OF for me regardless of the metal.

I have both but i prefer the black d500 for sure

BobbyD2323 · 12 July 2023, 09:40 PM

Ss looks better and not a fan of OF

NYG1121 · 12 July 2023, 09:41 PM

Had the steel for a few years. Now have the OF 519. Its not even close and SS feels like a substantial downgrade. Wear the OF all the time

wesm001 · 12 July 2023, 09:42 PM

I have both and if I had to part with one it would be the SS. The main reason being it's a SS watch and I'd rather have some value in PM.
