That’s my top pic as of now. Have you ever been able to compare it to the RG side by side? Also, how does it wear in terms of scratches?

Thanks. It’s a great watch. The watch is worn regularly and over a year old. Pic is recent. Scratches are a non issue with the oysterflex and ceramic bezel. Have not compared side by side to the rose gold, which is very nice too. I also like the black dial. It’s a nice modern take on a yellow gold Daytona. Enough to be impressive, but not quite as overwhelming as a full gold bracelet if that tends to bother you. Here’s a couple more.

Rose gold would be my vote esp with the chocolate dial. My question is how are you managing to get 12% off on this??!?!

Or WG Steel dial

Good relationship with my AD. It was kind of the genesis for the AD Loyalty thread I started.

That being said, I don’t think these are hard to get.

I love the champagne dial personally.

With the scarcity of these models it’s hard to see them side by side and make a decision. There are plenty of pics on TRF to go by, but how did you guys pick a specific reference?

I’ve wanted rose gold for 10+ years, but the YG with champagne/YG face looks amazing in photos. The WG seems to be the far and away fav.

I can get 12% off whichever I choose from my AD but it’s highly unlikely I’ll be able to see them all side by side to make an in person decision on which I like best.

Would appreciate feedback from all on how you made your decision.

You wanted to see them all side by side, here you go

I am a past 116500 LN Black owner and have lusted over Oysterflex Daytonas since the basel introduction in 2017. I traded my 116500 for a 116515 (Rose on Pink Sunburst) and I am loving this watch in every season and in any dress situation (casual, dressy, formal). Its just enough Gold.

The RG pictures very beautifully. In low light the watch looks a little more dirty copper .

My vote is for the WG, but I'm biased since it's the one I'm rocking. It's such a low key watch. Tough decision you have to make but with a 12% discount, you can't go wrong!

I poo poo'd the Daytona Oysterflex watches for a while until I saw them in person. Pictures don't do them justice.

Personally, for the price of OF I'd spend a little more and go full gold. WG flies perfectly well under the radar.

but the ceramic bezel and the comfort of oysterflex...

You da man thanks! Tried the rose gold yesterday, too similar to my skin tone so will rule that out. White gold looks fantastic but already have two silver watches.

Looks like yellow gold and champagne face for me.

Some pics from visiting a few shops in SoCal today.

Good choice, that’s a beautiful watch!

Surprised to see the WG in stock. I think a few members here are going to be very interested in the location of this AD.

Surprising to see all three in the metal in one market. Lucky you!

Thank you all for your answers. I placed a deposit for the yellow gold with champagne face today. Can’t wait!

It's my favorite. Great choice! It looks amazing in any tanned skin tone.

[Mr. Miami]

Big fan of the OF. Cool looking Daytona.

[oconnorandrew64]

Great to see the love for the OF. I’m still living the RG ivory dial combo.

I owned both the Platinum and WG Daytonas. And all my watches are white metal. But in this case if it were me I would go with the YG or RG. Something about it looks really good on the rubber band.
