I got the call for the new white gold 126509 Daytona however, it’s not for me. If it had a more unique dial option like the old blue dial, I’d be all over it! I do like a bit of stealth wealth. #daytona #rolex #collecting #chronograph #wruw #whitegold

Yeah, I didn’t need three Daytona’s with black dials. I’m really hoping that they come out with an additional dial variant at Watches and Wonders this year. I had my name down for the meteorite version but it got discontinued way too quickly.

Always nice to get that call, and wise move on holding off.

A good opportunity to ask them where’s my GMT?

It’s still a stunning watch Paul , I bet it’s a heavy sucker on the bracelet too . Get what you want for sure but your AD is looking after you !

Right?! All I really want is my freaking Destro GMT-Master!!! But hopefully, all in good time. I’m hoping and praying I get the call this year for that GMT.

Ya, they’re trying. It felt just as heavy as my Everose Daytona. I love a little stealth wealth every now and again, but I really want a more vibrant dial for this kind of coin. The old 116509 with the blue sunburst dial was much more my speed when I was produced. I also love the red ring around the sub-dials along with the red Daytona script. I’m hoping they introduce more variance this year at Watches and Wonders. If they don’t, perhaps I’ll get a second-hand one because I believe they trade for around retail.

Why not go with the platinum Daytona Paul. It's got a blue dial and it's the ultimate stealth wealth. I'll help you by co-signing. 😂Hope your having a great day.

Agree Paul that blue dial is stunning 🤩 good luck that would be a fantastic score…

Wow Paul! What a call!! Good for you knowing your taste and sticking to what you like.

Personally, I’d be all over this Daytona if I get the chance someday. White gold is the kind of stealth wealth I’m all about 😍 A sleeper and stunner without question. Can’t wait to see what you add next man! Cheers!!

Thanks Logan. It’s been on my mind all day long, if I’m honest. It’s such a nice watch but I just didn’t think I needed such a similar dial at that price point. And I was truly hard to resist the urge to buy it as it’s not everyday you’re offered a 126509 from your AD. But, I’ve gotta stay somewhat grounded in reality and restrain myself-especially if it’s not what I truly want.

Very very well said and hats off to you for knowing yourself, your goals, and staying on track for what you want! You gotta do what’s right for you and your personal journey. That’s the best way to do things!

It was actually a pretty good test of self control/restraint. Its way too easy for me to just say yes to everything and because of that, I’m actually quite proud of myself in this situation. I’m growing as a collector and fine tuning my wants/desires. Thank you for the kind words, my friend.

·

Good call Paul!!

I’m maybe too simple, but a heavy, soft, expensive gold watch that I can’t tell if it’s gold till I lift it, doesn’t impress me.

At least with yellow I know what I’m looking at!!

Also, you’ve got 2 black dial Daytonas already don’t you?!!! Get something wacky and fun next!

Subdial design, crowded text in the dial elevates the watch and the steel bezel makes it look simpler

It’s all good bro! Happens to all of us. I’ve embarrassed myself plenty of times over the years. It’s all in good fun! Enjoy your weekend! Cheers

I think if you don’t have the full rose gold beauty you pull the trigger but you’ve made the right call here…. It would play second fiddle as a hard hitter which it obviously is despite the stealth!
