116500
Received Daytona from David SW and couldn’t be happier. He even provided me with an appraisal for my homeowners to have it covered. After a few pieces from two local ADs and countless conversations I had to come to terms with the fact that getting it at retail from an AD was never going to happen. To make it work I got rid of a 166610 date sub that I purchased a few years ago. I’m going to miss that watch and I found beauty in its simplicity. Down the road I plan to get one back. Here is the 116500 with my GMT.

Is it worth the price you paid? LOL
Serious question coming from someone that used to own both the white and black dials. To me these are worth nowhere near the $38k you would have had to pay. You should have just went White Gold. |

Congratulations on getting the watch you wanted. I hope you enjoy the hell out of it!
And have fun ignoring anyone who starts talking about worth and value, or telling you what you should have bought instead. It’s awesome to decide what YOU value and what YOU want and then reward yourself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have the same combo also. The Daytona is a fantastic looking watch. I’m not a proponent of paying Gray prices but if this is piece you plan to keep and someday hand down to your son then the premium paid is peanuts over the course of your lifetime and hopefully your son’s. Good for you that you were able to come to the realization that retail was not in the cards and you were able to afford going Gray.

Congrats man! Seems like the best time to buy a Daytona is yesterday. I love the Sub, but it's easy to replace if you decide to do so. Enjoy!

Wow I never thought an end user would actually pay the current price for the 116500. Figured it was only dealer to dealer trades pushing up the price. Brave soul.
It's a good looking piece though, enjoy it |

Tough choice but ultimately it's still a strong combo. Congratulations.
