Icon6 Incoming Daytona 116500LN!!

New addition to the family yesterday... and loving it! Like many, I started off preferring the white dial and for sure I still think that is a beautiful watch, but the black is really doing it for me... elegant, classy and sporty.

As a previous owner of the black dial 116520 I can say that this looks and feels quite different on the wrist as a result of the bezel and shinier subdials. Pretty hard to photo accurately but I tried my best.

Thanks to everyone who had posted photos on here before and especially my friends Ken and Philip for their helpful posts about the black dial .

Very difficult to photograph for some reason you're right, but your images are fantastic! Congrats on an amazing reference, and one that I think a lot of people underestimated compared to the white dial. The black dial has it all. Perfect blend of a refined sports watch.

Huge congrats. Mine says hi :)

Big congrats, the black dial *rocks*! The matted sub-register rings and the ceramic bezel really make a difference on this model. Hope you enjoy your new Daytona C to the fullest! Mine says hello.

Congrats ! Have the white (initially passed on the black), but the more real-life pics I see of the black the more I like, and the more little voices say "you should get the black too"... reportedly a common side effect of TRF. Wear it good health , congrats again !
