I was browsing thru the TRF and Rolex website...and found this version of Daytona. Love at first sight! Let's see how long I'll have to save (and how i'm gonna convince my wife! ;-) )

kcmo · 30 August 2010, 08:35 AM

Nice!

onkyo · 30 August 2010, 08:55 AM

That is a WG Daytona.... very nice (and pricey!).

Good luck with your goal!

Awesome looking watch!

BarkMaster · 30 August 2010, 09:00 AM

Nice!!!!

Start saving now! It took me (quite) a while, but when that day finally came...

BarkMaster · 30 August 2010, 09:01 AM

Oh yea... as far as the wife goes... I gave my wife a Rolex first.

rfknauss · 30 August 2010, 09:18 AM

Walter, that is a gorgeous Daytona ........ keep saving those dollars!
Meanwhile you have that stunning LV Sub to keep you happy!

dddrees · 30 August 2010, 10:33 AM

Gorgeous Daytona, I just don't think I would want to wear it with a leather band.

Shade · 30 August 2010, 11:01 AM

That's sweet stuff man! I'd like myself that version with a meteorite dial! However, a gray dial (like the one depicted), or a white dial would suffice should I not find a meteorite! :D

Z-Dweller · 30 August 2010, 11:17 AM

I love the gray dial!. Looks like this will be my new GRA(Y)IL as well. My list is getting longer. Does it also come with a SS bracelet?

This dial is actually only offered on the gold Daytona

Z-Dweller · 30 August 2010, 11:23 AM

Excuse me, it's not gray, the color is SLATE! With white gold. Cosmograph Daytona Model 116519.

paverman · 30 August 2010, 12:26 PM

I'm not usually a big fan of the Daytona, but this version looks great. Contrary to a previous post, I think the watch on a strap looks very, very sharp.

RebreatherDiver · 30 August 2010, 12:35 PM

I like that a lot, but for a strap this has been on my list for a while but is discontinued and hard to find, I have never seen one for sale.

buke45 · 30 August 2010, 12:41 PM

Very nice

I just put money down on an order for that exact watch this last week! Same slate arabic dial and strap. After that I've run out of Rolex grails and will have to move on to the Glashütte Senator Meissen and the Patek annual calendar...

Go for it, Walter.

johnbeth · 30 August 2010, 12:54 PM

I know how gorgeous the watch is as I have one, with a meteorite dieal!

Buy it, its awesome!

I am changing my strap to a black one. I believe it looks so much better.

eteokles · 30 August 2010, 01:09 PM

Wow...that watch looks outstanding. This is the first time I've seen a Daytona on a leather strap and I'm blown away- very classy.

Rani Drama · 30 August 2010, 01:33 PM

This is really nice. I have seen a WG daytona with meteorite in the flesh and it is stunning as well. Is it possible to buy a WG bracelet as well and be able to switch between the two?

No white gold bracelet would suit unfortunately from Rolex. You can find third party bracelets, however, will require heavy modification. For the price of the WG bracelet, this excercise is not worth it. Most important, no damage must be done to the watch!

Great looking Daytona--love that dial!

EE33 · 30 August 2010, 11:34 PM

Top pick, I'd commit when the time is right

psv · 4 January 2011, 08:23 AM

I saw and tried on this very watch in person today at the AD - it is simply stunning and put everything else I had lined up to shame! Spectacular and understated piece.

Renoir · 4 January 2011, 08:28 AM

That dial is fantastic! Love the bezel engraving style on the 18ks...
