Incoming :-)
So roughly 5 months after expressing my initial interest I finally got the call today! I am now the proud owner of the Rolex Daytona 116519LN White Gold on OysterFlex bracelet.
I could not be happier with my purchase, I would go as far to say that none of my previous purchases have ever given me as much pleasure. The watch is visually stunning and the contrast of the dials/subdials is glorious! The OysterFlex bracelet is incredibly comfortable and I like the fact that it is a very subtle PM watch. I am sure I will enjoy wearing it in all kinds of circumstances. I was surprised that the watch is actually quite heavy (not uncomfotably so!). I thought the fact that it wasnt a solid metal bracelet would make it noticeably lighter than my other PM Daytona. Overall i couldnt be happier with this piece, which is actually surprising as I was dead against the OysterFlex Daytonas when they first released and I just couldn't see the appeal or the price justification for a "rubber strap"...funny how our preferences change over time! |

I saw one of these in the flesh on the wrist of the AD employee called Israel at Rolex Aventura Mall, Miami. The watch is simply stunning and, its the first Rolex watch that my GF has ever given an immediate about. Congrats OP, its a very very attractive piece.

You just walked in and managed to buy one? Nice! My AD said that these were becoming very hard to come by! I also have the 116508 in YG/green dial which i thought would always be my favourite Daytona...but now i am not so sure!

This is amazing. I’m so happy for you. I confirmed with the AD that I want this exact watch, and she promised a BLRO delivered at the same time. Apparently the 116519 is the hold up. The Pepsi I’m sure she already has in the safe.
