You know it’s an addiction. Wait till you get this one and then you will be hunting for Platona.

You are right. But before the Platona, I would like to have the Day-Date in platinum.

That watch is gorgeous, one of my favorite Daytonas. I agree with you, much better than the SS.

After trying on the OF models at a preowned dealer I feel that my SS Daytona is nothing but a toy. Seriously want to sell it and get an oysterflex model. Congrats!

Definitely love mine! It surprisingly pairs well with business causal to make a smart stylish look. And, looks great with jeans and a t-shirt. The sunburst dial is absolutely gorgeous when it hits the sun.

It defeats the purpose of the Oysterflex but you can put a black gator strap on it for a dressed up look. Easy to switch out.

Great piece. I've got the Newman dial, I wear it everywhere - to the gym, playing sports, casual, dinners. The only place I don't wear it is the office lol

Dial configs and finish are better on the PM ones for sure.

Congrats! I want this exact watch myself.

Congrats! It’s so good looking and so comfortable. It can make many other watches redundant and expendable.

Congrats to both of you! This variation is my absolute favorite of all Daytonas! It ticks all the boxes for me: Panda-style dial, ceramic bezel, silver/gray in color, PM but under-the-radar, all on an Oysterflex strap. Simply an incredible piece.
