Show Me Your Wide Boy

I've been particularly drawn to the Day-Date model, especially after seeing a few in near mint for under $5K, which is less than a very used steel GMT Master these days!

Did the Wide Boy ever come with a champagne dial in steel case? What calibers beside the 1570 Datejust have Wide Boy dials?

Please share yours. Below is what I'm aiming for:

Very nice, gentlemen, so classy. What are reasonable prices for excellent (90+, not overbuffed, not needing service) and original dial/hands Wide Boy DJ in steel and DD without the bracelet?

I've seen as low as sub $2k for a DJ on strap and under $5k for YG DD on strap.
