OF Daytona pikachu vs Paul Newman

I want to add yellow gold OF Daytona and I am torn between the black or the yellow dials ? Didn’t see both in hand ? What’s your thoughts

Gold dial, black subs.

I initially wanted the Newman. Decided to get the gold dial instead. No regrets

I don't know what the peekaboo or the Raul Newman are but the watch Vincent is wearing is downright attractive.

On OF, I’d go with the champagne dial. On full bracelet, black dial with champagne sub dials.

Contrasting

I prefer the Pikachu to the 116 Paul Newman, however the 126 Newman seems to be less “yellow” and I think I may prefer it,

I like contrasts.

So the black ceramic bezel goes better with the gold dial.

(Myself, I prefer a black dial, so gold bezel FTW.)

I have gone back and forth 100 times on which of these two watches I like better.

I am waitlisted for both, and whichever I am offered first will be my choice.

(Unfortunately for me … I want to buy my watches from my AD, and in these two watches, I like the 11 Series iteration more than the new 12 Series.)

In the end, from 4 feet away, on the wrist … one is a “black watch”, and one is a “gold watch” …

it just depends on what you want … a black watch, or a gold watch.

Both are beautiful, both are great.

I agree with you. A few years back, I was a SS type of guy. I thought I would never wear a YG watch until I discovered this Daytona PN on OF. It’s a smooth transition from SS to YG. Wearing this watch is a real delight and made me appreciate YG! If I had the funds, I wouldn’t hesitate to wear this full YG Dayto…
