Photo Request: Daytona gold/leather w/black MOP

Tried searching through the forums, but there are just so many dials & variations for the daytona that it is seemingly impossible to track down an owner of this specific watch!

I want to see the 116518 (yellow gold + leather) with the black mother-of-pearl dial with gold crystal sub dials and diamonds.

This is the same model as shown on the Rolex site here: http://www.rolex.com/en#/rolex-watch...d-m116518-0073


Please share if you own this watch, i'd love to see 'real life' pics, on the wrist, etc.

Thanks

I actually just ordered this model..... My rolex grail!! As soon as it comes in ill have some pics up. Like you I've always wanted to see one with the leather strap.....guess I just had to save up. I have always had a thing for dark/black/Tahitian mother of pearl which is why I got the yacht master and Cellini in dmop.

Wow! I'd love to see the picture too as that's my grail! Daytona Dans looked great (on bracelet though), until his untimely demise.

On the brown leather it looks sublime very classy I think on a gold bracelet it's just a bit too much if you know what I mean

Yes, the leather accents it perfectly and in balance.
