Both are platinum daytona. Which one do you like more and better looking? (forget resale value in this poll).

116506-PLT (no baguette)

116506-LN (baguette index)

Manu74 · 10 January 2020, 06:46 PM

No baguette

42itus · 10 January 2020, 06:52 PM

I like the chocolate sub dials.

No stones - brown Sub dials please

swatty · 10 January 2020, 07:31 PM

I like the chocolate sub dials more than the diamonds

joli160 · 10 January 2020, 07:54 PM

Baguettes, Rolex does that beautiful and in real life it doesn't look like bling ed out. Very refined.
The normal indices I don' 't like the pointed dial end. Not sharp defined.

jay_kay · 10 January 2020, 08:05 PM

I'm in the no baguette camp.

Does anyone happen to know the current UK RRP of the 116506 PLT?

If the brown-ringed sub-dials were available WITH the baguettes - that would be my choice

77T · 10 January 2020, 08:20 PM

I had the cheap one for a time.

But when I saw Dr. Tom’s pricier icy one, I fell in love with that sort of mono-colored sparkly one.

One day, if I never see my old one recovered, I might take the plunge for the diamond dialed Platona.

Baquettes on the ice blue ..

My favorite Rolex!!! A week in review...love the one you're with... Seriously, I like the little lume I've got; considered upgrading to the baguettes but decided to save my money. I believe the diamond dial is more legible as far as the sub-dials are concerned. The upgrade is about $7K and is always an option.

Gerardus · 10 January 2020, 09:10 PM

I'm in the no baguette camp also.

I do like the baguettes but I'd choose the standard PT. the brown chapter rings give a nice contrast.

Patton250 · 10 January 2020, 09:18 PM

They both look fabulous but if budget isn’t an issue then absolutely 100% go with the baguettes. They fit that dial perfectly.

I’m a guy that absolutely hates iced out watches but baguettes as the dial markers in my opinion are completely different. I have the black dial DD with baguettes. I think that’s magnificent looking.

brandrea · 10 January 2020, 09:44 PM

I can read to dial on the lume version better, so that would be my choice.

1William · 10 January 2020, 09:53 PM

If you are going big why not go all the way with diamonds.

JayHantz · 10 January 2020, 10:00 PM

I think of the two, I like the regular index and the brown sub dials. It ties in the watch better for my tastes.

ap1 · 10 January 2020, 10:10 PM

jpcwon · 10 January 2020, 10:12 PM

Baguettes. Diamonds are really only worth it on luxury pieces if it's factory done. Aftermarket flood jobs just devalue the watch...

I like the baguettes, but the absence of contrasting subdial rings ruins the dial for me. So brown subdial rings over baguettes any day.

PatRols · 10 January 2020, 10:57 PM

Reminds me of a woman's eyes with or without makeup!

To answer the original question, I would say here: makeup!

Agreed.

I went ahead and voted with my wallet.

s7horton · 10 January 2020, 11:11 PM

I find the dial without diamonds easier to read. In fairness though, I haven’t tried on the diamond dial.
