I'm in the market for a FG sports model.

Totally torn between the 126618LN OR the 116508 meteorite

Here's why ...

Ceramic bezel!!!

I'm very rough on stuff, clothes, cars, etc.

Advice?

I love it and support this all the way! But I guess how rough could you be with it on? Are you going to be trying to work on your car with it on? Just take it off lol. The bezel might look nice on the sub but then your PCLs are gonna be marred to bits anyway.

OMG, I am far from being a fan of the Daytona but by god that’s a cracking timepiece.

I was going to pick the Black and Gold Sub, one of my favorite watches, but this Daytona is unsurpassed, a real beauty.

Yes, I agree with you. When I saw this for the first time, I forgot all about the YG Daytona green dial I can’t get lol…

I guess this is what love at first sight means

ThatSubGuy · 29 June 2021, 11:25 PM

Daytona on OF? Then you have the ceramic bezel

GoingPlaces · 29 June 2021, 11:25 PM

To me Daytona is the ultimate sports watch, no brainer. Over sub always.

That meteorite is killer.

peterpl · 29 June 2021, 11:27 PM

Because your going for the Black LN Sub I vote Daytona.

If you said the LB Blue sunburst blue sub - well thats a totally different ballgame to me. That blue sub is just on another level in terms of beauty. Go see it in person you will know what I mean.

JSolution · 29 June 2021, 11:35 PM

The Daytona is a concern with the bezel. Actually sold one for this reason one smash of a door frame and it looks completely ruined in my opinion. Obviously is replaceable at a cost. However I do prefer the look of a gold bezel to a ceramic one. Fluted is my number one choice for pm models because it hides scratches very very well.

jpwv · 29 June 2021, 11:52 PM

Gold Daytona.

garyk · 29 June 2021, 11:53 PM

Go for the Daytona if you can get it. I’m hoping to get it an based on my 21 year old Daytona, they hold up well. I have never used mine as a daily but I do wear it a lot and as you can see from this photo, it’s held up remarkably well. I am careful but not crazy insane or leaving it in a safe…

It’s beauty

6XYBE63ST · 30 June 2021, 04:11 AM

Sub, as much as I like the looks of the Daytona it looks small on my wrists.

TswaneNguni · 30 June 2021, 04:14 AM

I find that YG Daytona ,meteorite dial ,black sub dials very interesting ...

Should be stunning in the metal .

I hear that a lot but it wears great on my 7 inch wrist. I remember thinking how much bigger it was than my 36mm YG President of past years when I first got the Daytona…

nachopc · 30 June 2021, 04:18 AM

Gold Daytona!!!!!

I own a YG Sub 116618LB and a YG Daytona 116508 and when I want gold, I reach for the Daytona over the Sub 9 times out of 10.

A gold dive watch? Nah. Daytona is the nicer PM piece

diewithme · 30 June 2021, 08:25 AM

no match here. That Daytona is killer.

mustangsqd · 30 June 2021, 09:29 AM

Daytona for sure

brandrea · 30 June 2021, 09:32 AM

Do you have any preference for the function: diver vs chronograph?
