Icon20 Rarest OF Daytona?

What is the rarest OF Daytona (disregarding meteorite)? What is most sought after/hardest to get.

From my research, YG Champagne Dial, Black Subdials (Pikachu) carries highest premium over MSRP.

Let me know, thanks.

Not even close. You need to start with the SS Daytona white dial in hard to get then move up to the Daytona LeMans and go up from there. Then throw in a Daytona 116598RBOW Rainbow, etc…

He asked ONLY about Oysterflex Daytonas. His post has nothing to do with the other hard to get Daytonas.

I would say the pikachu, closely by the Paul Newman, then the sun dust dial, then the white gold black dial silver subdials.

It’s hard to say which one is rarest. I’ve been offered three of the rarest Daytona references you can get. Platinum ice blue meteorite OF and black SS even a pucachu which I didn’t buy. I say this because I’m still waiting on the OF Paul Newman …. One day I will get that call lol

I think the top 5 are

1.Pikachu
2.Paul N
3.White Gold black dial silver sub dials (The Diamond dial option looks Great on this one)
4.White Gold Gray dial black sub dials (Ghost)
5.Rose Gold Sun dust dial black sub dials

I don’t know the rarity of these but these for sure seem to be the most popular

“Most over MSRP” as a first post _is_ weird.

It's probably the Pickachu because I like that the most, funny when Champagne dials are just not that popular on the other models... unless I start liking one.

Keep digging that hole! The OP's question was perfectly reasonable in a Rolex forum and to suggest otherwise is... weird..

PS: Using underscores to emphasize a word is also... well... weird.

Why anyone would post threads sometimes is beyond me looking at some plain daft responses, ffs .. weird ? Yeah it’s really weird …
I find people who eat yellow snow a bit weird ..
Or the odd person that dresses as a Cat, but won’t eat cat food - that’s a little weird ..
Or someone that drinks Soya Latte .. they’re a little special weird ..
Watches, they’re fun ..

The 126518LN with the golden dial and the black ringed subdials looks stunning. A member posted one recently
