Nice job finding this, it must have been pretty buried. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking about this and I won't buy one, but it's a nice addition to the line.

Yes! They retained the gold bezel for bracelet models for another year! PM Daytona on my radar this year.

When are they finally adding the Ceramic Bezel to the PM watches ? They look so much better with it then without.

The solid gold bezels probably cost more than ceramic, so it will save money to move to ceramic, but I kinda like the look of the solid metal appearance.

I owned both the WG Daytona and the Platinum, which has the ceramic bezel, and liked each in its own way. I did not find the WG bezel to be prone to scratches and I did scratch the bracelet up pretty good. Maybe I was lucky.

Did you also notice the new contrasting black subdials ?

The old choc dials missed contrast and were too busy, at least that’s my opinion.

To be honest the black subdials are a great move!
Love these new chocolate dials!

The 116505 is a serious beauty with this new dial! I wonder if they made it a tad ligher brown as well? With anything but bright (artificial) light the old choc dials are prety dark!

This is probably the best release period apart from BLNR Mk.2 but I don’t consider that a new watch. I live Oysterflex but prefer full gold here. I still think the black/pink dial is the best RG dial though.

Yes DavidSW has had the Chocolate on Bracelet for at least 3 weeks. $36,575.00 IIRC

I actually like the PM Daytona without the Ceramic Bezel... Don't ask why, you might not like the answer...
