Incoming 116509 Daytona

Been eyeing the WG blue dial Daytona for awhile and pulled the trigger to commemorate the birth of our first baby! Wore it to a wedding over the weekend and enjoying how the wg and dial shines under different lighting

It’s a sensational watch/dial. I had one for just before it got discontinued, then sold it recently as it spent more time in the safe than on my wrist and I wanted a black dial new ref Daytona and a new no date sub so I needed the funds

Congrats on the Daytona and also to your new member of the family! What a way to commemorate this epic event!

Excellent choice on that piece. That blue dial is quite the stunner. Those little bits of red on the subdials, indices and lettering, really makes it pop for me! Enjoy!

Huge congratulations on the watch and baby. We have a 10 month old son too. It’s a beautiful phase in life you're about to enter, cherish it (despite the lack of sleep )

That is a beauty. I love the blue, and given my wardrobe I get a lot of milage out of a blue dial. Congrats!

Very nice one
Congrats on the baby
I’m potty training mine now- might bleed to buy a watch to commemorate that

Congrats! I celebrated the birth of my first child with a Daytona as well. In my case it was a couple months late (getting the watch, not my son’s birth).

Beautiful! Congrats on the baby!

I am considering getting this watch as well.

Just curious, where did you end up buying and how much was it?
