Got the call - 116508 Green Daytona
 
1 Attachment(s)
After two years of waiting I finally got the call. It’s such a gorgeous dial color. Saw this first in 2016 when they were announced. Had to have it. Pictures do not do this watch any justice. The emerald green dial changes colors in different lighting conditions. First solid gold piece with a gold bracelet. Have a great day.

What’s up brother! How are you!?

Thanks man. I’ve been staring at it all morning. Haha. It’s super nice. Thinking about putting it on a Rubber B strap (black rubber with green pinstripe). Thoughts?

Superb watch! Congrats!

Wife and I are going to his concert in Los Angeles for the 5th time now in a couple weeks. He is very knowledgeable on the topic and I do appreciate what he’s done for the watch. Let’s see if his predictions are true in 10 years.

I am doing great brother! I had to google some pics of YG on the Rubber B, and if you love the look, I say go for it. For me, I would keep it on the bracelet; I think it looks absolutely stunning on it and pulls the look together. :thumbsup:

vinny84 31 August 2019 12:52 AM

Wow wow wow! What a stunning piece! I bet it’s even better in person. Enjoy it with great health! Definitely worth the wait :dude:

Got the call - 116508 Green Daytona
 
Major congratulations!

Beautiful watch and looks fantastic on your wrist. I absolutely love the way a Daytona sits and looks on the wrist. Perfect combo of modern look with a more vintage wear. Perfect.

I can’t say I endorse putting that watch on a Rubber B though. I certainly would not.

Congrats again and wear in good health!

He is the man in my book. The reason I picked up guitar. Then when I found out we share the same birthday and he is a watch nut made me appreciate him even more.

Valid point. How’s the 5002 treating you my man?

Thanks guys. Probably right about the runner strap. Yellow gold really pops and is surprisingly comfortable despite the added weight.

Such a great watch, congrats!

mrricks 31 August 2019 01:17 AM

First Daytona that I like. Lovely!

bp1000 31 August 2019 01:22 AM

Congrats!!

I’m still waiting for the call on this one.

Picked up the WG blue one very recently. I think they are both the best Daytona’s available.
