Finally got my 116519LN. It is honestly one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful watch I have ever seen irl. The dial is simply stunning.
By the way, any tips on how to care for the WG clasp and case? It’s my first PM piece and I don’t want to have it scratched too bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Lovely reference!
Regarding your question on superficial scratches, don’t wipe your watch with your shirt. Avoid any temptations to clean smudges unless you have soap and you’re doing a proper cleaning. If you wipe a dirty watch you will mar the surface with the contaminants already on it. For me on all my gold and SS watches, I rinse the watch under water then spray liberally with Wristclean solution and wipe with my bare fingers. Afterwards, I thoroughly rinse and then dry with their drying towel. |

Beautiful piece, one of my favourite Daytona’s. In addition to the above comment, remember to wear your watch only after putting on your shirt.

Absolutely amazing -/ this thing is so under-rated
Admittedly I was one of the ones a couple years ago who felt “meh” bout this watch … fast forward to now, I just can’t believe I ever felt that way Congrats …. I recommend www.perpetualdetail.com trust me TRUST ME.. go there, but the kit or at the very least the cloth/detailer combo … the cloth is the perfect microfiber designed specifically for Rolex .. I use this cloth and spray detailer on all my Rolex (gold and stainless) and couldn’t be happier … trust me, buy it.. it’s exactly what you’re looking for |

Nice watch! Congrats. I want to try out an oysterflex bracelet, is it more comfortable than your oyster steel bracelets at first impression?
Ps literal LOL at some of these comments on upkeep. Just enjoy your watch man! |

Soap & Warm water. THAT is all you need. LOL
The only problem with the OF is that once its wet I find it wiping it with the cloth its not as effective as blow drying the rubber. On metal bracelet soap + warm water + microfibre cloth. Thats it |

My AD told me that Rolex are developing in house cotton fields to produce their own cleaning cloths...but you have to spend a few hundred on the AD's other cleaning products to be considered

Funny you say that, because my AD told me that the cotton is watered using only the tears from Swiss mountain goats, making it suitable for use only on precious metal Rolex wristwatches Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That’ll bump the price up. It’s really, really difficult to make a goat cry, especially mountain goats, they’re hard as nails! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thank you man. I do feel the oyster bracelet is more comfortable. The flaps on the oysterflex somehow is a little bit itchy.

My advice on scratches is learn to roll with them. You cause yourself a lot of stress if you can’t.
