Anyone out there who wears this as a one and only??

Not one and only. But I do wear them a lot. And certainly could be if I didn’t have others lol.

Very nice!! Any cons? What size wrist and oysterflex size?

I'd love to hear the feedback from this as well. My first automatic was a Tag Carerra with a rubber bracelet, which was extremely comfortable.

Where did you get the endlink for the SS Daytona? or is that off a White Gold watch?

I think the Daytona's look better on straps and feel more comfortable as well. During colder months (I live in LA so it doesnt get that cold) I prefer to wear non-metallic bands.

Wore a 116500LN on OF exclusively for about 6 months this year.

Currently wearing a 116519LN exclusively.

I would say the weight of the steel is more 'forgiving' if you don't have the perfect fit on the OF straps because the lighter weight means it doesn't flop around as much.

Color wise, I'm finding it actually a big hard on the WG for some reason to be only on OF, probably just a bit of OCD when matching say with brown belts and brown shoes with a black rubber strap.

So just to say, I'd probably add a no date sub or a speedy into the mix to balance it out. Great watch, works 90% of the time as a solo watch, but the 116519 is simply not as versitile as a 116500LN especially when you have the option with the steel to go back and forth between strap and bracelet.

Lastly, I would say it took a while to find the right fit with the OF. Went back to the store multiple times to get it right.

Thanks! That’s why this watch is so hard to buy online.

I have the 116515 but wear it maybe a couple of days a week. My daily is a Panerai, but looking for an AP to add.
