Its been a while but I'm back with some Gold...
I thought that I was satisfied when I had the 116515LN. Maybe it was me but I couldn't get used to wearing a Rolex on a strap. No matter how gorgeous the face was on this watch I couldn't settle with it....SO, I chopped it in, threw in a Panerai for good measure and here we are!!!!
What do you think, ill try and put some more pictures up.

Super sick piece, at this point the only daytona's worth getting are vintage and new gold/platinum ones. The panda dial is a must! Congrats.

Sorry, 'in my opinion' should have been in there somewhere.

Congrats, the Panda is a worthy replacement for the ceramic, but imagine if we get one that has both.

You're not alone in thinking that Rolexes should go with bracelets. I feel the same way too.

Nice watch!

Agree. Rolexes look best with bracelets. And that Daytona is killer with the YG and Panda dial. Well played.

Thanks guys for the kind messages. I have lusted after this watch for a long time and getting it has meant that my collection size has decreased, however on the plus side this means more wrist time for those that survived the cull!!!!
