Great collection, but I did get a chuckle from this comment when paired with the thread's title.

What a great collection, covers all the bases, occasions. The DJ and Black/Blue Sub are great. There are a couple of Daytona looks that are outstanding, this is one of them.

and 100% the new rose gold is lighter than the "old" one and thus the watch is much more flashy IMHO

Wow, huge congrats on the most gorgeous timepiece!

Last year I went to see my SA and asked for this 116505 meteorite dial, she told me that she had not seen one yet but that day 116505 with black dial came in, she told me if I wanted, it's mine so I took it right away. I hope the next one will be meteorite dial, I am one step behind you.

I love all Daytona, I have SS white dial Daytona, YG green dial and RG black dial and waiting for Meteorite dial, Platona and Rainbow Daytona.

Wow!! Major congrats

505 is one of the last boxes I need to check off. And one I will not check off without a call from my A D. Well unless we go to circa 2013 pricing like we used to have here on TRF

In the meantime I’ll make do with my 515 but major congrats on your new Meteorite 505.

Do you Still have the original 505 from 9 years ago?
