the title makes me cringe-
Ghost on this battle. Although always prefer the bracelet version.

Is Rolex still releasing the 1518 similar to people still picking up the old Pandas from their AD?

The WG Daytona "Ghost" is my favourite from Monday to Friday. The YG "Pikatchu" at the weekend. If only one, then WG, but I'll be lusting after the YG.

And agree, Cookie Monster is ridiculous. But let’s not start that one again
Thanks you for the chuckle. Next is going to be Power Ranger or Barney.

Ghost, hands down.

Yellow gold with champagne dial. Good on the eyes. The "ghost" is nice....but a little lacking in the visual appeal for me.

I would have voted, but I don't know which is the ghost and which is the pikachu.

Preference is the white gold. I would assume that's the one you call the ghost.

Don’t go off pictures. The ghost looks sort of bland or lackluster in photos and even sitting in a case. Once you take it out and move it around in natural light it exudes a luster that is amazing. After that stainless steel looks dead.

Couldn’t agree more! Love mine.

First, all I can think about is poor Gretchen Wieners: “Quit trying to make ‘fetch’ happen!” Do we need to have cute little nicknames for every piece?

Second, tough choice. I think I’m leaning toward the YG version but I wouldn’t kick the WG piece out of bed.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks all
I’m looking at the vote thing and I have no idea what you are talking about. I hope to keep these nicknames out of my head!!

Definitely Ghost for me.

Love all the old timers in here complaining about the nicknames. Thanks for the laugh

My vote is for the YG, one of my faves and a watch I regret letting go of.

Not a fan of the nicknames.
