Review and pics of the Rolex Daytona 500 116500LN Ceramic
Yesterday I posted a VLOG and Unboxing of my new Daytona, and I really appreciate all the great comments and responses. Today, I've been crafting a review and taking photos of the watch.

I can't believe how nice it is in the metal. Pictures will never do something like this justice (although I've give it my best shot! ) due to the lustre of the metal and the way it just catches the light with the ceramic bezel. The bezel seems to flip from light grey to deep black depending on the available light. I love it!













The video review is at the following YouTube link and also contains more pics...

Really great post but perhaps it belongs in the review forum? That black dial is really growing on me !

I wish you would have talked less about the watch and more about the 'esteem' of being one of the first to get it :D

Beautiful pickup, congrats!
I'm starting to prefer my black dial, but I'm yet to see a white one in the metal. I'm glad the dealer only had one colour, so the decision was taken away though!!
