Opinions on the 116519 Daytona, panda, Arabic

Howdy folks, I’ll start off my admitting that I have very limited experience with Rolexes. I’ve only ever bought a black sub, no date (Cyclops hater here), a few years ago, AKA the standard watch of anyone working in Central, Hong Kong (at least it was a few years ago).

I’m strongly considering the 116519 with the panda dial.



I’m mainly drawn to the fact that it has a Paul Newman look thanks to the panda dial. The movement is also attractive, accurate and is OCD friendly (the needle not resetting to zero perfectly on my IWC Port Chrono is not so OCD friendly; I heard the 4130 has a perfect reset).
The white gold construction is almost indistinguishable from stainless steel visually. I like that kind of subtlety.

This would be a fairly considerable expense for me so I didn’t want to just jump in, so I’m looking for the opinions of more knowledgeable Rolex people.

So, in terms of readily available, modern 4130 caliber Daytonas with Arabic, is this reference a fairly good, perhaps “best” choice?
