Congratulations, that is a beautiful watch.

I am on the waitlist for the Golden Dial with Black Subdials, but I’ll have to tell my AD to put me on the list for this one.

The Black rings of the subdials, on the 126518, are a huge improvement, to me, vs. the Gold rings of the subdials on the the 116518.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and wishes! They’re so very appreciated - more than you’ll ever know x

Congrats!!!
12x Daytonas look great

GTS's are also fun with manual gearboxes

Thank you. I too was on the wait list for the black subdials - but when this one arrived I went to try it on - and it was live at first sight! :)

That looks fabulous on you Alex. Nothing like a yellow gold on the wrist. That new bezel rim is just so perfect.

Thank you

My first yellow gold, I’m in Singapore on business and brought it with me. Love it.

Congratulations!!! It's a stunner. Can't go wrong with a PM Daytona on an OF. As a matter of fact, I just picked mine up from my AD on Friday. Enjoy

Beautiful choice! That's quite the stunner. A big congratulations! As a Porsche enthusiast myself (and also a Rolex fan obviously), there is no better pairing imo.

New watch tomorrow 126518

And just took another picture in good light… this watch is amazing!!

Additionally, as a huge added bonus I spent a few days on a business trip to Sydney and Melbourne. It was amazing and liberating to wear my watch in the sun, with great weather, t-shirt and not (too) worried that I’ll be beaten up to a pulp for my watch. Have me the opportunity to bond with my watch.

Thank you, Australia!
