50th anniversary Daytona

Hello

I cannot find and other threads relating to this, please tell me if it has already been covered.

I was at the new Watches of Switzerland shop on Regent Street in London yesterday having a look at a platinum Daytona. I was surprised when the salesman started talking about the 50th anniversary model!

He then showed me this anniversary Daytona with a different dial to the 'standard' platinum model.

I have to say that I prefer the standard dial over the new one, I'm just wondering what others think?

Thanks

Which dial did you see? Was it the same color with diamonds at each hour?

The Platona now has three dials, brown subs, diamond markers no brown, and all diamond face

Do a search they are posted on the official platinum Daytona owner thread..

This is my favorite but the diamond marker dial is growing on me!!

You made the right choice Tom, that dial is perfectly balanced for the Platinum Daytona
A stunner and I never get tired looking at your pictures

Whilst there are now 3 dial options, Toms (above) is the only 50th Anniversary model, the other 2 are simply (though beautiful) Platinum Daytona's
