Great choice. WG Silver dial while very nice, doesn't knock my socks off. The YG PN dial however is amazing and my fav of the OF Daytonas. My dad sports this watch proudly!

YG is king - congrats. I'm in the same boat with you. All I'm waiting for is this model to be available on full bracelet and I will be getting one

This watch is mindblowing. Just look at the case and the gold. It oozes so much of everything.

Congrats OP. That is one beautiful watch.

I've actually entertained this exact idea myself, but couldn't bring myself to part with my 519. I bought the Tudor S/G Chrono (pictured in this thread) as a sort of a stop gap compromise, and it's worked out very well, but man, every time I see that 518, it gives me second thoughts...

Yellow Gold is a bit too much for me, but what a stunner!

I would think the WG commands a higher price than the YG from my experience...all that matters is that you are happy with your trade ;)

Yeessss. Nothing as nice as a full gold Daytona. I’ve become a bit obsessed about a full gold bracelet too. Even if it adds an extra 20-30% to the watch.

That is the best looking Daytona! Great contrast & very legible.

Wish I'd bought this one when I had the chance.

Congratulations!

I would never have been interested in this watch just looking at pictures, I liked and wanted the Panda version. But once I saw it in person......
