After the dark blue one with white strap a new experiment for my 116519. Never was a fan of the brown bezel. Think this combo works pretty well with the OEM brown strap to compliment the brown tachy rings. Opinions ?

As long as that is an OEM dial then that does look good, and pretty unique. Think the brown strap is the right move too.

Stevec14 · 28 July 2018, 07:00 PM

I think it looks great. Nice work

Good, looked like it. How did you source one?

Number3 · 28 July 2018, 07:06 PM

Not normally a Daytona fan but I must admit the dial and strap combo on this look amazing, especially with the solid end-link. Very nicely done.

Kigan · 28 July 2018, 07:18 PM

Beautiful! Great combination.

Kostas · 28 July 2018, 07:24 PM

Unique !

SearChart · 28 July 2018, 08:06 PM

Meh. Platinum and brown ceramic is much better IMO.

Mercman1 · 28 July 2018, 08:21 PM

Not for my taste, looks too much like a swatch watch.

Would you consider a darker shade on the strap (to better match the chocolate sub dials)

1William · 28 July 2018, 09:36 PM

Not for me. I prefer the Platinum Daytona setup for the blue dial.

GoingPlaces · 28 July 2018, 09:39 PM

Looks ok, Im just not a fan of aftermarket.

Chiboy · 28 July 2018, 09:48 PM

At least you're not mimicking the platinum look. Enjoy it if you like it!

LuminousMaximus · 28 July 2018, 09:48 PM

I think it looks fine but isn't that dial exclusive to the Platinum Daytona?

For me, I have a hard time changing anything from it’s stock condition, instead If I really like a particular dial, I would save for that particular watch...

Old Geezer · 28 July 2018, 09:50 PM

I like the look

Boaters · 28 July 2018, 09:51 PM

Not for me

watchwatcher · 29 July 2018, 12:34 AM

For my taste, I don't think the sub dial rings make sense without the bezel to match.

Just my two cents...

The work is aftermarket I suppose, but the dial is not, it is genuine. I'd also put a chocolate strap on that rather than the lighter brown. I had the option on my AP Chrono and chose the darker brown, was classier.

justdate · 29 July 2018, 01:22 AM

I think it needs a chocolate brown strap to match the sub-dials.

Now that I’d like to see!

Nice combo.......you might need a little darker strap to make the brown sub dials pop!!!! The brown ceramic bezel on the Platona is just plain fugly!! Yours looks way better!!!

I like that :-)

gmstevenson · 29 July 2018, 03:49 AM

Using a dial that is exclusive to another model (even if it is an OEM dial on a real case) makes it look like a Fugazi at first glance.

prakhon · 29 July 2018, 03:51 AM

Killer. Well done.

Are you sure that dial is original? Where did you buy it?

crbrown · 29 July 2018, 04:05 AM

That’s a pretty nice combination right there. Love it!
