Anyone own the new 126518 YG Daytona OF Champagne dial?

The champagne dial with black ring subdials doesn’t seem to get much interest and I haven’t seen any good online video/reviews. I’m just curious if anyone here owns one and would be so kind as to share their thoughts/pictures.

This one:

I don’t own one but think it’s an absolute stunner.

I tried it on at my AD and was so much more impressed than I expected.

I have the one with black sub dials. I have seen this one too, and it’s a gorgeous dial.

The new dial color is actually named Golden. It is a deeper color than Champagne.

I like it a lot as it more closely matches the hue of the YG case.

The config I prefer...

New dial is lighter than the 116 version per a YouTube comparison

There was a person who posted about his 4 Daytona collection. He has it. I’ll post this and maybe he will see this post and he will give us his input.
