The SS for me, she’s a timeless piece.

Never liked Daytonas without ceramic bezel. Therefore it's SS vs WG OF. At same price, I'd rather have a PM piece

Voted with my wallet. 116519. Betting the panda dail will be more desirable then the gold bracelet going forward. Although 509 has more gold on it, the amount of gold doesn't dictate the demand. Just look at the SS.

I've had all three. The one that's still hanging around is the WG/OF. Such a nice watch...

Equally priced like 11K or 30K

Well definitely not the Oysterflex.

I love that blue dial on the WG. But the bezel is such a scratch magnet. So I think this have to go with the Panda in steel. I oen the Panda en its beautiful and even tho you say " if equally priced" you will keep about 20K on the bank

WG Bracelet, blue dial. One of my personal grails.

SS Daytona at any price. It’s balanced and weighs right for daily use.

This is a really good thought exercise that forces me to re evaluate my recurring lust to sell my 500 for bubble prices and upgrade to pm. By removing price/market value it forces you to only look at what suits your taste. (Which is probably what a lot of us need to focus on.)

In that light I can’t really think of a piece that would suit me better that the 500ln white dial. I get irritated wearing heavier watches for long periods of time, so pm would probably wear on me. Plus, none of the dials really speak to me except the “Paul Newman” yg and the green yg.

Given the same price I’d struggle to decide between the comfort and great looks of the 500 white, vs the somewhat less versatile but gorgeous yg green dial or maybe pn. I’d probably buy the steel all over again!

Well, we're pretty close to having all three models equally priced...at $30k, give or take a few.

My vote is for WG w/bracelet and steel dial. I believe I saw someone had swapped the bezel for ceramic on that one, and that was absolute perfection for me.
