I made the switch...
Although I like the 116519LN.....it just became a little boring for me. It may be more versatile and “under the radar” for some, but I never really bonded with it. But this! This 116518LN I absolutely love! Both are beautiful, this just sings to me big time!

I don’t recall seeing this reference before. It is such an interesting color combo, I would stare at my wrist for many hours of the day. Probably really comfortable with that strap as well!

Really well done! Feeling some major wrist envy right now!! Congrats and enjoy!

Did you sell your 116519LN directly or trade? Just curious.. This new watch looks very good.

Do you still have the 519 or did you sell to purchase the 518?

Nice watch. I have 515 that I am looking to sell and get not something else myself. Still beautiful, but sometimes is just time ti move on.

Traded...almost an even trade. Had to throw a little cash in to make it work. Worth it to me.

I think this is the best looking gold Daytona at the moment. That dial works so well with the bezel and YG is YG. Congrats!

The heart wants what the heart wants. I personally love both. Would be a very hard decision if I were in your shoes.

It wasn’t an easy decision...the 519 is gorgeous. And, I’m not really a yellow gold fan but, the 518 on OF has the right balance for me. I love the dial and the contrast. I also have a Smurf so the WG box is checked. Needed to add a little color.

I tend to agree with you. Off wrist I’m more attracted to the 519, but on my wrist the 518 looks better. Maybe they’ll add more dial variations on the 519 soon and you can add again.
