Daytona 116159 - Loving the Grey Dial
Thought I'd share a pic of my 116519 that I picked up last year. It hasn't seen alot of wrist time but as of the last week I've had it on nonstop. And I really like the dial especially when the light catches it at the right angle. Although I've been wearing my 5712 as a daily, it's refreshing to have the heft of a solid gold case on. I adore the 5712 but sometimes you just want to feel the heftyness of a Rolex on - y'all know what I mean!

Hope you enjoy the pic!

I definitely know... haha one time at Costco, they had an IWC. I tried it on and thought, someone stole the movement, or traded this thing for plastic! That thing was so light, I thought the watch fell off my wrist...

the 116519 looks great, esp with the darker colored strap...

Haha, that's pretty much my sentiment everytime I take a break from my Rolex collection and put something else on! Cheers!

I agree. Would be awesome for Rolex to have a rubber strap that is made for the 116518/19.

I owned that reference/dial as well. I never should have traded it.

You are correct.......it is STUNNING.
