I paid a visit to my favourite AD today to ask about my position in the queue for a Sub black dial, and green dial. She assured me that she was doing her best for me. She then showed me a white gold Daytona with a blue dial. I went weak at the knees. I think it is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen. I was tempted to pull out my credit card and have a "you only live once" moment, but a Daytona won't keep you warm when you get sent to the spare room for an indefinite time.

Michael N Q8 · 14 November 2016, 08:30 PM

haha it is a thing of beauty for sure, but wise to refrain

Cru Jones · 14 November 2016, 08:44 PM

Yeah, but, just think how good it will will feel to time the amount of time you spend in the dog house with your new Daytona....

OmegaJJH · 14 November 2016, 08:46 PM

I'm not sure if i'd be able to explain that one away either

On the balance of things, probably the right move

It is beautiful. I think I am going to have to work and save harder.

masyv6 · 15 November 2016, 02:28 AM

It' a gorgeous piece. Just make sure you equip the doghouse you'll be in with a comfy bed, internet connection, and computer to get on TRF with

jguerra04 · 15 November 2016, 02:28 AM

My AD just sent me a pic of the Daytona they received this weekend and I thought it looked great as well!

watchwatcher · 15 November 2016, 02:34 AM

Oh my.

I feel your pain.

Racerdj · 15 November 2016, 02:38 AM

I also have a hard time saying no to a blue dial purchase!

jrs146 · 15 November 2016, 02:38 AM

That blue dial is stunning - tough choice but happy wife, happ life!

tifosi · 15 November 2016, 03:11 AM

I was just at my AD getting on the list for the 116500...SA told me she had the WG blue dial in the safe, but I didn't even want to see it! I don't need those problems.

I'm in the same spot...I have not even asked to see one.

Green maybe, since I love the dial in pictures but won't buy a yellow gold watch. If that was in white gold, I'd have to bury my head in the sand like with the blue.

sechsgang · 15 November 2016, 03:31 AM

Good god thats pretty.

sholzer · 15 November 2016, 03:33 AM

I thought the blue only came with the arabic numerals which I'm not a huge fan of. That one above is gorgeous

KrismanX · 15 November 2016, 03:51 AM

Oh man... That blue

if only I had $30,000 or so to toss around. My AD gave me one of those "If you come back within 5 years you can trade your Daytona in for full price toward something 2x the value." type of deals. Maybe I should check this out...

Hard to top your latest blue dial purchase Dave

AK797 · 15 November 2016, 10:49 AM

I didn't even ask the AD to take one out for me, too risky.

Ritch99 · 15 November 2016, 10:54 AM

Its better to ask for forgiveness, than for permission...

:)

s7horton · 15 November 2016, 11:22 AM

I have never, ever been a fan of the Daytona, but that WG with blue dial is freakin' amazing!

You have to wait for a regular sub or green sub? I've seen them numerous times at ADs.

Wow!! Really nice Daytona!!

IGotId · 15 November 2016, 12:33 PM

I hope that watch is never produced with a blue ceramic bezel...

HogwldFLTR · 15 November 2016, 01:03 PM

Beautiful watch; lucky I'm a poor man. Not to mention I value access to my bedroom as well.

Alexwwjd · 15 November 2016, 01:51 PM

Beautiful watch, but I'd wait a couple years until the Rolex design guys add a ceramic bezel. Can you picture it?

ap1 · 15 November 2016, 01:56 PM

Panda, coming to a Basel near you

kneedeep · 15 November 2016, 02:17 PM

This WG blue dial combination is what could move me to get a Daytona one day.
