Finally got my matching Daytonas. Curious to hear which do you prefer and why? I love both for different occasions. After wearing the full gold one for a while, the Oysterflex feels so much more relaxing

I'd go full gold on a Daytona.

Good choice! Still my preferred look too.

Calatrava r · 13 December 2022, 12:11 AM

Full gold for me also.

GoingPlaces · 13 December 2022, 12:12 AM

I struggle with the difference in price. A slight jump and full gold is the way. Nothing beats a full gold Daytona IMO.

Trailboss516 · 13 December 2022, 12:22 AM

Full gold all day every day

horseco · 13 December 2022, 12:27 AM

I just cant get into rubber, now if that was black alligator...

I love my full gold more as well. But the OF is great with that ceramic bezel and the comfort of the rubber!

lukey77 · 13 December 2022, 01:01 AM

For me , defo oysterflex. If they did the ceramic bezel on full gold that’d be first choice.

I own the oysterflex and also the white gold OF. Both are unbelievably comfy.

Nice to have both options, but IMHO if you’re going gold … it’s gotta be the full monty

noshake · 13 December 2022, 02:08 AM

I like the OF. Full gold needs the ceramic bezel, IMO. Then all gold Daytona would be a hard choice vs the DD40.

BriansRolex · 13 December 2022, 02:10 AM

Full gold

ltmgeller · 13 December 2022, 02:13 AM

Go for the Midas touch, full gold.

szabo_martin · 13 December 2022, 03:09 AM

Both amazing for different reasons

DC116710LN · 13 December 2022, 03:12 AM

If Rolex ever decides to introduce ceramic bezels on the full gold models, then I would lean that direction. For now, Oysterflex

To me, the Daytona is a sporty watch, obviously, and the rubber bracelet makes it look more sporty / is a better pairing for a sports watch.

HMHM · 13 December 2022, 05:30 AM

If the same dial is available on the OF, 100% OF!
Only the blue and green JM Daytona I would go with full PM bracelet, simply because they aren’t available in OF, but doubt the colour scheme would go well with the OF strap.

EthanM22 · 13 December 2022, 05:40 AM

This dial is crazy. I think it looks best on Oysterflex!

Pablito · 13 December 2022, 05:40 AM

OF matches this reference way better!

Seddyspaghetti · 13 December 2022, 05:42 AM

OF. Looks better imo

DoctorsOrders · 13 December 2022, 05:48 AM

I think the OF looks better aesthetically, but its hard to justify with such a minimal price difference between it and the full gold.

MrMercedes · 13 December 2022, 07:44 AM

Full gold for me! Looks great!

1259 · 13 December 2022, 09:16 AM

Oysterflex looks better with no consideration of price.

SS Oyster · 13 December 2022, 10:06 AM

I prefer OF because cerachrome bezel more protective. Plus, full gold can look overly blingy.

Got the oyster flex once. Never again.

Watchdog · 13 December 2022, 11:16 AM

Gold

ryehn · 13 December 2022, 12:45 PM

From what I've heard around me people like the rubber + ceramic bezel combo for this dial spec! But full gold is always my favourite.

why not..?

curious to hear the downsides.....was it primarily sizing / fit issues? (i've read it feels too top heavy & unbalanced)
