I’m not a fan of chronos but the white dial is the one

I'm actually surprised it's this close! 116519 for me.

I've worn both and own the white dial. I would love a steel version of the steel dial on bracelet but for now the white does it for me. The only other rolex I need is a sub no date which I will buy for my 40th birthday in 2 years and 5 months.

I voted white 116500 but of the three shown, my choice is the black dial 116500!

The simple answer is, that most would agree that the 500LN white, is nicer than all of them. And is by far the most desirable, and the most difficult to get, particularly when comparing to the OF.

To my eye the ceramic bezel is not an improvement over any of the pre-ceramic models. Of those 3 it is out of place visually to the greatest extent on the white dial. My favorite of those three I suppose is the black dial but only because I prefer a bracelet over rubber straps.

Not even close. That WG on Oyster Flex amazing. It’s just a bit different.

The SS Daytona just looks a bit ‘standard’ now?

There's quite a few people who have done this. Check the various 519LN threads here.

Who cares what these people do. I would not trade my 116500 white dial for any watch but I would like to have the 519 OF Panda.

I do prefer the “true” panda dial off the WG, but I prefer bracelet over OF.

116500 all the way

I do not like the OF WG daytona. I'd rather go full WG, forget OF. In my opinion the OF is not even comfortable, but that's just me

The 519 OF or even the Everose would be the only Daytona’s that interest me. I am looking to add a Chrono to my collection and was honestly considering other brands, but the PMs have intrigued me lately. I recently picked up a piece with OF and I am a convert! Nice change from the bracelets and it’s definitely not a RubberB/Everest....
