519N better look For sure because of the black bezel.

509 the weight is really great. I have an Everose Daytona On bracelet and love the weight more than the SS white dial because of the weight.

Enjoy, both have pluses!

It would be a hard choice between this and the blue dial!

I was looking at Chrono24 earlier and a dealer in Uttoxeter has one dated late 2019 for £30k. Might be worth popping up the M1/M6 to have a look, if it's still there when you emerge from lockdown...

The steel face is great although I think if I was going full WG bracelet I would lean towards the blue as a better contrast against the bezel.

Yes I've managed to try them both on (before lockdown) and I was leaning towards 519.

I know I'll end up getting both long term

I think the 519 will be first though

509 was first for me

But now I'm keen to add the laid back nature of the 519. It's on order.

i think it really depends on whether you are willing to wear a precious metal bracelet

i have 6.5" wrists and have ZERO interest in a PM bracelet. absolutely too heavy for me

i have owned 116500 white and black dial and sold the white dial to keep the black. . that scratches the itch for me to own a daytona with a great bracelet

but i find myself wearing the 519LN constantly. . there simply is not watch on the market that combines the looks (best daytona dial by a mile) and coolness of the rubber strap

I’ll choose the silver panda!

I hope this post has helped others making a similar decision!

Thanks again all

116509 without hesitation.

SS Oyster · 4 July 2020, 04:13 PM

I vote for 126509, which I hope has cerachrome bezel with WG full bracelet

All these indignant posts about "rubber" make me smile. The 519 fits my lifestyle, spent most of the time in the gym or in workout clothes, to a tea.

A heavy, flashy bracelet? Not so much. I've got other watches that do a much better job of bringing the heat when that's what I want.

Starwalker · 4 July 2020, 10:15 PM

Bracelet and if you want the rubber feel and a rubber B. The price spread does not justify the cost of the rubber strap. It’s crazy.

javo2999 · 8 October 2020, 02:56 AM

Blue for sure

N&M · 8 October 2020, 06:28 AM

I have both, panda 519 and blue 509. They are completely different, love them both.
509 is my DD, 519 - watch for weekends and vacations. So I think it’s better to get them both. Which first? Depends on availability!

greeneyedguy · 8 October 2020, 07:58 AM

Ive tried on both and its Oysterflex all the way for me! That is my grail piece!

Exactly: well put! That is the reason I went for the 116509-0072, full WG Daytona.
