Finallly I got my Daytona WG

So finally I could make my mind up and bought a new toy.
Flew to Amsterdam in the weekend and made the deal.
The seller took my old 116520 in trade.
Now I have to think of changing the dial to a white one as I think the watch looks nicer in white.

Sorry you have lost me here you traded in a Daytona 116520 Daytona SS for a white gold one, and now you want to change the dial to white .

OK OK for your sake I wil not change the Dial
I was interested in thoughts from members here also.
I keep it I promise
Maybe the black one is more sporty for this kind of watch.
By the way I have checked the accuracy with GMT Time
I does not slow down or fast one second in 48 hours.
So guess if I am impressed in this movement in the watch.

The only downside is that in the dark, only the dots at 3 6 9 and the hands glow.
So you have to have sharp eyes for check the time.

I think you guys have convinced me to keep it in this style.
So no changes will be made with the dial.

You chose ... wisely.

To change the dial ... unwise.

Congratulations! I bet it feels so great on the wrist! There is something about the weight of gold that is so reassuring!
