Thoughts on this WG Daytona?
What are the general thoughts on this white gold daytona? https://www.the1916company.com/rolex...ytona/4965232/
NOT the price. I found one for around 28k as a CPO and it is intriguing.. |

Is that blue o black on the dial? CPO is wildly overpriced.

It's the black face. I just haven't really seen this combo and it seemed interesting. 28k CPO seems pretty good vs other prices for non CPO I've seen.

I’m not familiar with that particular model but the Certified pre owned program they have is one way to be assured it’s the real deal and supposedly it’s been gone through thoroughly? I’m a big fan of Daytonas but gold will show a lot more wear than a SS Daytona.

I don't like it. Don't chase the price chase the watch if you like it. The arabic numerals are not in line with the vibe of the watch to me.

Personally I don’t like numerals on the Daytona, and also much prefer a ceramic bezel.
But to each their own |

I like the watch. The numbers on the dial do make it more legible.

Love almost every Daytona, it’s not one I’d pick at that price range, but go for it if you like it .l

I usually don’t like numerals on a Daytona, however that particular one, caught my eye, and as you said, is intriguing. I like it.

Isn’t that considered a ”racing dial”?? I have seen it on TT with both black and blue dials.

I own the WG Daytona with blue dial.
A good friend has this black dial. Side by side? Black is a knock it out of the park Rolex. |

Well, I’m a fan of this model. Mine is practically a daily wearer, and I’ve owned it since early 2015. Might be more scratch prone than SS, but as you can see here, not really. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like it, but don't like the lack of lume.

I have the silver dial and I really like it. I personally feel the numerals work well on the Daytona.
