So, some of you may know that I visited the Rolex Chicago Boutique yesterday - I did get to take a couple of pics. They had initially stopped me but the manager said that considering the "circumstances", it was ok to take a pic of my favorite watch.

I think the "circumstances" meant that I was wearing a SS Daytona and they knew I am a serious client.

So, here's my pic of my all-time favorite Rolex RG Daytona w/ Black Dial... what do you guys think? Fits me, my wrist, and my skin tone ok?

Did you see the YG version?

FeelingTheBlues · 9 April 2012, 02:44 PM

I think RG fits you very well but I would recommend you to try the YG version as well!

Andad · 9 April 2012, 02:45 PM

The dial and bezel markers don't seem to jump out as they do on other Daytona combinations.

dmitrii_ · 9 April 2012, 02:49 PM

love the RG, check out the other dial option on the RG Daytona.

kilyung · 9 April 2012, 02:55 PM

Stunning looking.

Which YG version are you guys thinking?

HL65 · 9 April 2012, 09:03 PM

Looks good but for me the YG PN dial pops way more. Either way though you can't go wrong.

I love the RG black dial combo, I'd prefer the YG for myself, but RG is great as well.

Looks Great.

Hard to go wrong with any of the Solid Gold Daytona's.

azguy · 10 April 2012, 03:07 AM

Hard to tell, skin tone means a lot with YG and RG in my opinion

Lanfor · 10 April 2012, 03:45 AM
