After 3 Daytonas I think I found THE ONE (for now)
After a 116519, a 116500 White Dial and a 116505 (Racing Chocolate Dial)

I think I finally found a Daytona that takes my breath away, even tho they all did in one way or another, but this one is just special in so many ways.

Pictures of this really don't do it justice, but in real life it's just mesmerising, those who own it or have seen it in the wild know what I'm talking about.

I've been thinking about it actually.
I think the green is a great watch but a bit too hyped and in a way I think this might actually be the real one that got away

Probably the best, most legible dial, of all the variants.

Wearing mine today as well. It’s my favorite and super legible. For a YG piece, it’s not sparkly so a bit more sporty and wearable more often. Congratulations!
