Incoming Daytona

My collection had been in a relatively calm state over the past 6 months (contentment?). This reference I always admired from a distance but did not think it would be something I would ever own. Until I saw one in person…

The stunning steel dial matches the WG case with perfection and the OF strap really completes the sporty and casual vibe of this reference. It is the perfect summer watch and you can really dress it up or down! I have gone through my fair share of OF daytonas and always felt that I needed to at least have a RG or YG version to justify the cost. I couldn’t have been more wrong!

Congrats! I have the same and you're right it is really something you can dress up or down - it's a luxury sports watch with enough of both 'luxury' and 'sports' to be looked at from either angle.

I don't think I would wear the yellow or pink gold models as much as this one, as those metals can be seen as quite opulent (even when dressed down with rubber), while this looks expensive and classy but more 'approachable'.

How do you feel it stacks up against the AP in terms of emotional pull towards the watch? (Or maybe best answered after the honey moon).
