I have the opportunity to get a 116519LN at the AD this week.

I currently have the 116500 White and 116508 Green.
All three are very different from YG bracelet and bezel/green dial, SS bracelet Cerachorm bezel/White and the 116519 would be OF, WG Case and Silver dial.

I really just love the Daytona look and honestly with multiple watches I like the no date and easy time set... (yes I am lazy

).
Plus I have small wrist like 6-3/8" so it fits me perfect.

I also have CHNR, Batman 2.0 and AP Diver.

I have been up and down the Rolex, AP and Patek lineup and either watches I like are too big (AP) or unreasonably expensive (Patek). Or in the case of Rolex, I have already owned a bunch (like literally even single submariner for example and Hulk twice..lol... but waiting for Basel 2020, maybe new Submariner next year...
Right now Daytonas and GMTs are on fire w/ Rolex as both refreshed past 4 years and currently my favorite Aesthetic.

The reason I have had so many rolexes is I LOVE the Rolex aesthetic, reliability, durability and sportiness which still has it tops for me. Not to mention the fit is perfect for my small wrists AND I LOVE microadjustments as my wrists MORPH.

Here is my current 2019 Collection (I update yearly

).

Go for it! OysterFlex will be a different look imo

Oyster Al · 20 September 2019, 03:37 AM

BTW congrats on an insane” collezione”, as the bald guy from shark tank would say!!

Thanks for the feedback, I agree.

Interesting this YET is another watch that cheaper at the AD even with tax included.

yOyOYoo · 20 September 2019, 03:51 AM

I think the WG Daytona on OF would fit in perfectly with your collection! To me, that AP looks a little out of place.

amilch · 20 September 2019, 03:54 AM

Do it. Daytonas are my favorites as well.

Yes the AP is a little out of place... Bordering on a tad too big for my wrist, but I do love it as a beach watch (I live on Siesta Key).
The AP is becoming my beater as I wear to the beach and gym...

slillestrand · 20 September 2019, 03:55 AM

No....You have room for more....

mjclark32 · 20 September 2019, 03:55 AM

I've played with that model Daytona at a GTG and it was super cool/nice. Would, most likely, be different enough for you from the others
I vote to go for it

DoctorA · 20 September 2019, 03:55 AM

Three different colors serve three different purposes
I would go for it!

MattyL147 · 20 September 2019, 03:56 AM

I don't have 2 other Daytonas, but I did just pick up the 116519LN and couldn't be happier!

There are 3 very different types of Daytonas
1) Metal Bracelet and Metal Bezel , including SS, TT and PM
2) All Metal Bracelet with Cerachrom Bezel (SS, Platona)
3) OF Bracelet w/ Cerachrom Bezel (all PM)... Also there is a leather strap option that fits in this category IMO...

So each of these 3 Daytonas (assuming I get the 116519LN) falls into a different type of Daytona.

Not many watches have this kind of variety!

Thanks for sharing, I love hearing from owners.
I did have a OF RG Daytona 2 years ago, but I like the WG aesthetic the best of all of them, as does the consensus on TRF.

dsquared2 · 20 September 2019, 04:05 AM

Not at all, everyone is so different.
I see a good purchase the oysterflex.
Go ahead

Why not, if they appeal to you go for it

Ssunnylee24 · 20 September 2019, 04:24 AM

well its really not three.
One is gold, one is SS and the new one is on OF.

REDiesel · 20 September 2019, 04:43 AM

Too Many IMO

42itus · 20 September 2019, 04:47 AM

I own the OF and I love it. It will fit nicely in your collection.

Rado63 · 20 September 2019, 04:51 AM

Seems like you have a particular style and the Daytona fits. So no, you can't have too many Daytonas. Go for it! Question becomes do you really need the other watches in the collection?

klenboy · 20 September 2019, 04:55 AM

Adding the Oysterflex Steel Dial no matter how many Daytonas you have is definitely more than "ok."

ap1 · 20 September 2019, 05:01 AM

Approved

I find it funny the high haut watch is the beater.

woof · 20 September 2019, 05:01 AM

Ahhh... that's a no brainer... you should get it

JayG · 20 September 2019, 05:06 AM

116519 ln is a definite hell yeah!!

Nikrnic · 20 September 2019, 05:06 AM

Who am I to say no. You have some real nice pieces and the 519 w/ OF will be a great addition no doubt.

If PP is ruled out, altho prices are falling so keep an eye on them, then the OF is fine piece.

It would be for me.

You should buy what you like

stylinleems · 20 September 2019, 05:12 AM

The 519LN would fit very nicely within your collection! (As is a hard piece to obtain along with those two beauties)

I am currently waiting on mine and I too, will have three Daytonas hopefully!

Vipes · 20 September 2019, 05:40 AM

If you want to try it out, there is little financial risk since this piece is in demand. I just sold mine yesterday. I enjoyed it but I wasn’t in love with it. The dial is really nice but in the end, I am not an OF fan. Great collection, BTW
