Hi ladies & gentlemen, debating between 116509 WG Daytona
and having trouble finalizing the dial choices. First leaning towards
the Black Mother of pearl with gold crystals 8 diamond, with a very close
Black Dial Daytona with 8 diamond, want a bit of bling & really love the
PM Bezels on Daytona the really reflect light much better than SS models,
at least when new. Other wildcards are Panda dial & perhaps going to
RG 116505 Black dial with everose subs, also possible skip Daytona
& get WG DD40 Roman on Blue makes the markers really pop or RG Roman
on sundust dial. Please help me decide. Wrist shots would help. Photos included. RG DD40 borrowed. that being said try to stay White Gold for more
less self conscious reasons. That being said also have a black SS Daytona which I love & also do you think Black MOP with get tiring after a while?
Sorry havent mastered photo posting yet. Thanks.

Regards
Nick

Go for a panda:

So, basically you just know you want A watch, and narrowed it down to a lot of different possibilities... Grab the Daytona with the baguette diamond bezel and call it a day.

For myself I would choose the RG panda but considering what you wrote I say go for the MOP dial on bracelet (the baguette bezel is a bit too much and doesn't match nicely with the leather strap IMHO).

Since you already have the SS, I'd go RG mate! Not a big fan of baguettes....the RG DD40 is also beautiful but perhaps consider a RG DDII with chocolate dial.

Think I would go with the panda from your choices.

Agree, RG is luscious, so DD or RG Daytona with black dial... only wish it had a ceramic bezel too.

Sorry, baguette bezel photo was to reference dial though
I wouldnt mind it as its kinda subtle & wont scratch, but the price of that piece is well north of a Platona dont let the leather strap fool you.

RG 116505 with a black dial for me

James A. · 6 September 2015, 01:24 PM

Because you've already got a white metal Daytona I voted for the RG w/ black index dial. If it was an option on the poll I would have gone with the your WG DD40 idea.

Since the Daytona does nothing for me, I'm going with the DD. Good luck.
