Incoming... Insanity part 2 - RG Daytona 116515
My journey and dilemma since my last posting continues... http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=327028&page=1

I have been considering the choco vs ivory dial and the ivory won after number of reasons including readability, consideration to the existing collection and awesomeness.

Here are some pics.

Beautiful and Congrats, did you flip the SS Daytona, or did you decide to keep it.

The damage for flipping it was going to be too big and decided to keep it. :bang head:

I was heavily leaning towards the choco dial, except I have a DD II in choco and had to go with the ivory

I think you did just fine my friend. There will be varying moments when you will want to wear both of those amazing Daytonas.

Love the rose gold option. Love the SS white dial. But then again, I kind of love most rolex watches with the overall edge going to the daytona in general.

I love my pair.

I hated it since day #2 it was purchased and it went right into the safe. My first and hopefully a last bad purchase.

Love the white dial, but that's where my affair ended.

I grew up watching hong kong gang movies, and given the fact that japanese yakuza members are given ss daytonas as part of their initiation ceremonies, makes me feel like SS is a must

Nothing in life is free. Especially the way they got it.

Awesome stuff.

I hope my love affair with WG doesn't start or I'll be in serious trouble.

Congrats!
This is such a beautiful RG reference with the ivory dial and ceramic bezel. Seth's WG panda on rubber strap looks awesome as well.
