Incoming Daytona
Last weekend I got offered this WG Daytona on OF. It took me 2 days to say yes to my SA, as I was originally waiting for the 116518LN YG on OF one.
See my post here asking for opinions on these 2: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=830631 The 116518LN with champaign dial and black sub-dials is very hot on Chinese social media, because a HongKong celebrity wore it on his wedding ceremony. You can search for "Shawn Yue Daytona" and this guy is also a vintage Rolex guy. That was one of the reasons I was after this piece. And the picture of that watch looks really stunning. Anyway I was not really expecting anything coming so fast after I expressed my interest. My SA really threw a tough question to me lol. A lot of TRF members here prefer WG over YG, and I have to say I also prefer less flashy watches because I'm a low-key person and YG would attract too much attention both in daily and in work. Yesterday I picked it up and am really loving this watch! I'm glad I didn't choose to continue waiting for the YG one. Maybe one day I'll add the YG one to my collection but for now I really enjoy what I got. Here are some pictures. It's a pain to upload images in the browser and I'm not very good at taking photos sorry! |

Comgratulations!!! I think you made the right choice. The 116519LN is such a forever piece. And so much more versatile. I won’t hijack your thread but I’m a bit biased. Picked up from the AD about the same time so can totally relate!

Congratulations! I am waiting on this one myself. Asked for it back in July and it hasn’t shown up yet.
Enjoy and thanks for sharing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting. Are you also waiting for a OF Daytona on a different configuration? Just out of curiosity are you located in California?

Congrats! It's a stunning Daytona! I think the sexiest OF Daytona with the 116518LN champain dial.

Amazing and congrats! To be honest it is a win win situation and it was the other way for me. I feel in love with the WG but ended up with the YG.
