Hi everyone!

I have a little dialema. As the heading says, im looking to purchase 116528 as I want a bracelet which I can not get a real Rolex bracelet for my existing 116519. I also decided to change from WG to YG.

I like my Meteorite dial, however, I can not get with 116528.

I wanted to look at these models, however, here in Perth we have two dealers, who hardly have anything worth while in stock for me to try on and look at.

I have attached the 2 models that I am looking to purchase.

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

John

Far out Mate, either of them 2 is just Pure, I wouldn't careless which one I got.

They both are out of this world!

whoops, I voted to 'flip' the diamond even though that is not what the pole was asking, lol

I am just not personally into diamonds!

I had a feeling that the diamond dial wouldnt stand a chance with the PN dial....

sleddog · 7 December 2010, 11:11 AM

Well John....
My votes actually for the diamond dial!!!(and I'm not much of a diamond guy!)
The contrast between the hands and dial are so much better IMO.....

I do love the PN dials, but it's just to much gold with the sub dials and all gold case!!
Just my 2c mate!

Latrodectus · 7 December 2010, 11:11 AM

Both look great, I would prefer the PN dial

Funny I agree! The gold color on the sundials on the PN doesn't seem as sharp to me as those on the diamond dial. Im not a fan of diamonds either....

Hey guys, Sorry for the delayed responce. I had not fallen of my chair as yet! I think I am a Diamond Dial fan myself, however, the PN dial is just as gorgeous so I am slightly confused.

TSW · 7 December 2010, 10:26 PM

Both the Meteorite and the PN are on my list of favorite dials.
How about keep the 116509 and save up for the 116528.
Can't really have too many Daytonas right

dddrees · 7 December 2010, 10:31 PM

John, somehow I prefer the diamond dial just a little bit more than the PN Dial.
