No diamonds! Plus better sub dials.

Diamond dial ...absolutely !!

Had it in my hands at two ADs.It is the most striking Rolex ever !!..and the heft !!
If I was financially so sound that I could justify spending so much,I would grab it and for good measure ad the YG Green dial Daytona ...another stunner !!

Platona and Green dial YG Daytona .... go hide at the grey dealer little ss Daytona !! Its Major league .

+1 about the brown subdials.

Not sure about the $20-25k haircut for the used though. From what I saw most are only 4-5k difference between used and new. And AD I asked are not going to offer any discount for these.

No diamonds. Diamonds on a watch is a very feminine look.

The diamond dial is like the 5170P diamond dial -- subtle and beautiful. The only thing I don't appreciate as much with it is the same issue with the WG/blue dial Daytona -- the subdials get a little lost rather than standing out.

But it's a beautiful and elegant look.

I prefer the baguette dial as the more ice blue the better.

Love it without the brown subdials, just wish one could do that without the diamonds!

Can’t really help here. Both are gorgeous. I do love the contrast of brown sub dials so I’d prob go that route. But diamonds look great.

Can’t go wrong.

Although I really like the diamonds, I would go for the brown sub registers, I think it makes the watch. However, either one is going to be amazing to own.

I’ve had ads offer 15-20% on these but in smaller cities.
