INCOMING - Evening Sickness aka PM Disorder
In March I acquired a beautiful DJ2 blue stick and thought I would be done for the year
 Then Daytona 500 came out and I got this relentless ceramic bug. AD in Tokyo never have such thing as a waiting list. My chance of getting the SS 116500LN was to scour all the ADs on daily basis or camp out like iPhone maniacs at new releases. Patience was running thin but I'd never pay a premium even if I had scored one. (JackRoad had the white and sold out almost immediately w significant markup of course) So the hunt began. It had to be a ceramic bezel Daytona. Since all my collection was consisted of all stainless, dare I dream of a PM? Flipped my TT Panda to make room. I miss it dearly but an upgrade was fated. After much self debate and 'test driving' different dial choices, band vs bracelet, YG, WG, RG etc..for ever, it finally came down to this. I'm beyond ecstatic. It is absolutely my grail and my first PM   Mysteriously the obsession for its SS brethren has vanished. Chocolate is perfect therapy. I am cured and definitely done  No really. Thank you to all TRF members, enablers, and Daytona patron saints.

I've seen 116500s selling for near what those go for gently-used, so I'd say you made the right choice!

a PM daytona > than a SS daytona. so naturally if you can only have one that would be the way to go.

Congratulations, what an incredibly beautiful and unique watch. I love the brown and black color combination surrounded by rose gold, truly stunning. One thing I love about the face design is that Rolex didn't cut off the 3, 6 and 9 like so many other watch manufacturers who try and fit in those additional complications. Instead they just place a simple and elegant white square at those locations. Perfect choice!
