What kinda comment is this??

I got the Day-Date champagne dial regardless of Jennifer Aniston's looks AND I am able to pull it off.

I think it's kinda like the dork that sits behind a girl in glass and pulls her hair...trying to get attention but being too awkward and lacking the confidence to just say what he's thinking. There really was no good reason for him to make that comment.

I own a few Daytonas, and I'd only suggest that if you are buying as a collector...gold is not the best choice. I'd say the same for champagne dials. If you are just buying what you want to wear, it doesn't matter what anyone here opines, right?

Yes, that comment was plain rude.

Since I originally posted back in January, I have decided on getting/waiting for a rose gold one. That is one I would definitely wear 😎

That President 🥰 🥰🥰 The gold ones are just stunning. I (relatively) recently got to try out these 2 2-tone (Rolesor?) Daytonas…as well as a black dialed Daytona with the ceramic bezel (not pictured)…

The one with the black dial really caught my eye (and the white dial hurt it!)…and the ‘hype’ black ceramic did absolutely nothing for me. Do post a pic or 12 of the Goldie when it comes 👍

I know I'm late to the party @NYCwatchgal but I'm a fan of 16528 white dial. Best of luck on your rose hunt

That's a beauty! The 5-digit white dial is so sharp and crisp. Love it.

Thanks for the well wishes 👍

Agree with you that the white dial isn't pleasing to they eyes.

Will most definitely most pics when the RG arrives. Hopefully, this year. Fingers and toes crossed!

Gold and sport models don’t mix in my opinion.
16520 all the way baby!
