Trade complete - 126500 for 126519ln

Thrilled. Warning.... don't start wearing PM if you don't want that to be what calls you going forward.

Getting used to wearing the White Golf Cookie Monster.... going back to the Daytona... it just felt light. Plus I love the dial on the baby Le Mans!

Ehh, id rather have the 126500LN black.

Wearing and paying PM prices for rubber strap seems criminal to me. Would opt for bracelet if im going PM

I donno. The oysterflex works so well on a Daytona. And the case and clasp are solid gold. It’s definitely a noticeable weight and well balanced watch. Doesn’t feel like steel or cheap in anyway.

Understood. I have tried on the new oysterflex Daytona at my AD. It does work well, ill admit. But I need the entire watch to be PM if I am paying PM prices. Just my opinion.

It’s not PM prices. OK coast about $30k and fill PM cost $40k. Big difference. I got my 116519LN ghost because i love the combo with the ceramic bezel and the rubber strap that I don’t have to worry about scratching.

If you can get from AD, then sure its $30k. They're Not readily available. For most people, it's $40k (grey)

Yep, it is expensive. But all gold is another 10k on top (retail wise). I have a solid gold white gold Daytona and a ghost. Love them both.

Agree it’s hard to go back once you’ve gone PM.

Let us know, I’ve done it, pick it up sometime next week and although there’s a tinge of regret, I feel I can add a 116500 or 126500 at some point, but then I may never feel the need to ..
