Hi All

I am blessed with the opportunity to pick up one of the following RG watches via grey dealer. Currently have 116520, 116610, and just sold a couple pieces with enough money to get one of these lovely pieces I am asking about.

Price is not really a factor, but I am shaking up my collection and really like these 2 watches but for different reasons. Can't have both, but it is so hard to choose (what a problem to have!)

116655 YM- I love the low key factor of this watch, love the dial, comfort etc. Can pair with my 116520 and Sub-C as a "beater".

116515 Daytona- Love the Daytona lineup in general, love chronos on straps, although it is a bit more in your face which I would need to get used to. Will very likely also move my 116520 if I get this, and I will likely replace it with a BLNR, and of course the Sub-C not going anywhere.

So what do you guys think? I am really torn, I am leaning towards 116655, but would love some input/opinions.

I prefer Daytona over YM, so it would be 116515 for me but both of them are gorgeous timepieces.

Pick the one you love the most.

I’m not the biggest Daytona fan, plus I like having a rotatable bezel and date… I went 116655 and love it

Good luck and congrats either way!

It's worth having both, imho.

I would go 126655 so you can get the mini glide lock clasp - which, may I say, is not available on the Daytona.

If money is not a factor, power move is to buy both, move the mini glidelock clasp to Daytona!

But to OP, I prefer and did go for the 515LN.

This is probably the nicest YM variation but I would go with the Daytona every day of the week!

116655 is very sharp looking and distinquished; no comparison to the 116515 in my opinion.

126655 if that is an option would be my choice.

karleone · 15 February 2022, 05:52 AM

Daytona much prefer the watch and look vs YM. Plus I found it looks better with endlink.

Between those choices I would go with the YM. Not a fan of the dial on that particular Daytona reference.
