What would you consider 116509 WG Daytona Meteorite w/ Roman Numerals?
Is it an everyday watch? Is it special occasion? Is it dressy? Trying to understand which of my collection to make the special occasion wear/dressy vs. everyday casual?

I wore it as a daily. It’s a great watch but the newer ones have more contrast. I liked the newer ones better.

I owned one for a bit, definitely not dressy, the dial can wash out at times. The novelty wore off quickly for me, the roman numerals also did not aesthetically work with the meteorite dial. Certainly a good alternative to the more modern WG daytona at half the cost. Definitely can be worn as a casual daily, if I recall, I only owned it for a few months.

I understand where you’re coming from. I had him also for a few months. Mine was on the leather strap. ![]() Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk |

Only thing stopping me would be the Roman numerals. But if this ref had sticks it'd be 3x the cost.
