I like rose gold but not a fan of brown faces.

Seen some photos on IG. Looks like shipments started to arrive only recently. Hoping to be able to see one in person soon. Possibly looks amazing.

I think it looks great color scheme wise, despite me not being a fan of Daytonas at all. Forgive my ignorance, but was this a new release at Basel this year?

I didn't know this was being released. I personally don't love the color brown (unless it's chestnut, lol), but like that the dial isn't cluttered with Arabic numbers.

Been a long time favorite of mine brother. Brilliant on leather, might be even better on OF. Down the road would be nice if they add a brown leather option too.

this dial "popped up" after Basel. Around late May if I recall. It replaced the Arabic

Saw one at a recent Basel 19 preview evening held by my AD.

Beautiful in the flesh - the sunburst dial is mesmerising

Yeah, brown dials don't work for me either.

But that's what makes a horse race. Different opinions.

Was offered one in August from an AD, passed on it as I am waiting for the 519LN.

Hoping next year ... Still saving up.

Chadridv, couldn’t you of all people simply do a manual swap out to the brown OEM strap? :-)

It's a lovely dial as the original chocolate had non lumed arabic numerals.
Having lume is a nice change of pace.

I saw one at The Baselworld Collection by my AD a couple of weeks ago and have ordered one for the wife.

My brother in law has it on a leather band before Oysterflex was released, very nice watch. My grail is the black dial version of this watch!

Agree, I too can’t see paying those prices for a watch with a rubber strap. Great looking watch, but I would want the full bracelet as well. Good luck to those seeking the watch.

Cheers, Tim

I had a burning desire for a jubilee!

If my AD ever comes through on a Pepsi, I will likely move the jubilee Batman for something else

Hey man it’s all good, have as many BLNR’s as you want I was just having a bit of fun with you

Makes sense to swap one for a Pepsi though, then that really will be a very special 5 piece collection you got going on there

I have been waiting for a 116518 for a long time, longer than any of the other hard to get Rolex models I wanted. I saw one of these brown and YG ones and almost got it instead. Very nice looking piece.
