Incoming (DAYTONA)

I just received my Daytona Oysterflex 116518LN “Paul Newman” and couldn’t be happier. I had an AP ROO 44mm steel that was just a bit too big and uncomfortable so I didn’t wear it as much as I had planned. This is my first Rolex and the dial on this version is really what sold me.

Congratulations! Definitely has some wrist presence, and a Daytona that you do not see out in the wild often! Enjoy it, it looks great on you.

Nice. The most vintage-looking Daytona out there (except for the OF)!
