That dial is special for sure.

I concur

Nope.
Ceramic Daytonas only.
Wait for it.

Kostas · 7 February 2018, 09:55 PM

I like it!

brandrea · 7 February 2018, 09:56 PM

It’s a beauty

Toony · 7 February 2018, 09:59 PM

It’s a unique blue. So stunning in person.

ap1 · 7 February 2018, 10:08 PM

Love that one too

Meaning you believe they’ll offer the ceramic with that dial?

You'll be waiting a long time.

OP: Beautiful watch...are you going to pull the trigger?

Such a gorgeous dial! I wonder, did anyone ever try this dial with the small red chrono hands? If this dial was installed in a 116519, what would be the best colour strap?

WBA_Daytona · 8 February 2018, 01:09 AM

Have seen it in real life. The dial is beautiful, great I'd say. The problem is that non ceramic Daytonas tend to wear a little bit small on the wrist. So it is a heavy watch but with a small wrist presence. A little bit awkward for me at least, that is why I've chosen the WG Oysterflex Daytona, because of the ceramic bezel that gives a larger wrist presence. If they'll bring this combo with ceramic bezel it will be a superb watch overall.

I too have seen it in real life and have been watching classifieds and in fact nearly bought one...

Gotta say, I like the fact that it wears a bit small. I really don't feel like I need to draw even more attention to a PM watch. And hopefully the smaller size will minimize the dents and scratches to the bezel. I am a klutz sometimes.

WBA_Daytona · 8 February 2018, 01:39 AM

Each of us has a different taste that's for sure. I personally have started to like the Daytona after Rolex introduced the ceramic bezel. The Platona was a little bit out of family budget when it was launched and then when the SS version was launched I immediately wanted one. When in 2017 they've presented the Oysterflex versions with ceramic bezel I was in love and this year I've already bought the big brother in WG and in a month time I'll be adding the SS Ceramic finally. So, I can say that I am a fan of the ceramic Daytona.

I was thinking black or dark brown.
Not sure if there is an OEM croco strap in white for the 116519.

WBA_Daytona · 8 February 2018, 01:44 AM

I was thinking of the new Oysterflex Daytona 116519 with this new dial,ceramic bezel and a white Oysterflex strap. That will be rock solid for Basel 2018!

asubabove · 8 February 2018, 03:20 AM

Saw one on some guy at the table next to me at brunch the other day. Thing looks incredible in person.

DoctorA · 8 February 2018, 03:37 AM

That’s an amazing dial on a beautiful watch!!

drefrank · 8 February 2018, 05:26 AM

Really cool dial!

But it would be more expensive and have less gold. That's not a good deal in my eyes. I agree wrist presence is enhanced with a ceramic bezel.

Tangier11 · 8 February 2018, 05:49 AM

As good as that looks in pics I bet it looks even better in person!

breitlings · 8 February 2018, 05:51 AM

love it.

Andy355 · 8 February 2018, 07:42 AM

There was one in london i tried on. Nice dial but i thought it looked old fashioned versus the ceramic models. Think it sold pretty quick so maybe I am in the minority

Bagman · 8 February 2018, 09:27 PM

So they started producing the watch in 2016? Finding the watch is tough enough.. finding a bargain is almost impossible. At the moment the ceramic hasn’t grown on me.

Yeah...bargains are few and far between. I've seen a couple in the mid 20's, but they didn't last long.

klchow · 9 February 2018, 02:56 AM

Really nice but I'm holding out for the Ceramic SS White dial model (impossible as it looks at the moment).
