Thanks all. I find the Oysterflex very comfortable, but took a little fine tuning to get it right. Peeling those stickers off when I got home was so satisfying. But I just realized I missed one on the clasp.

That’s stunning. Congratulations.

Would love a Daytona on Oysterflex, but would probably agonise and capitulate on the metal to go for and dial combos for as long as the wait time on an SS one.

Just lost an hour on the website configurator playing around with them while I should have been selling Merc’s.

Congrats on my favorite Daytona. Better than the overhyped 116500 and 116508 ��

For me, this made the most sense. I wanted a non-metal band. Was looking at a JLC for a while and then an Omega. But Rolex is always a sure thing. Although I had been eyeing an ALS 1815 up/down, it didn’t really do it for me. Not much of a yellow gold fan, although i would like a yellow gold DD for vacations....when I have a nice tan, which is becoming more and more infrequent.

Very happy so far, even with a couple minor scratches on the clasp already. I blame July 4th and the very many drinks I had last night.

Thanks everyone. Have a great weekend.

Good choice. The WG daytona with the silver dial imo is better than the hyped ss ceramic
