New Arrival 116519
White gold Daytona. Everything but the original strap. Thinking of getting a Rubber B and using the clasp.

Good compliment to my 215270.

Excited!

Thanks everyone. Really would have preferred the Panda dial, but this one is stunning in person.

I will say this about the white dial, it reminds me of part of the John Maier interview on Talking Watches on Hodinkee, when he said he loves watches that hide something and you have to keep "looking closer" to see what is really all there.

At first glance, this can easily be mistaken for an 116520, and honestly might be by 90% of people that catch a glimpse or even look hard. But as you look closer the Arabic markers first may jump out, then the triangle bezel and you start to realize this is an 116519 in White Gold and not what you thought. That was at least how it went for me and made me fall for it.

I have a both a Panda dial and a 16519 that is almost identical to this, just the Zenith version. They each have their special bits and this is every bit as special as a the panda dial version. It's a great watch. Enjoy it in good health.
