A couple of thoughts after 10 days on the wrist.
I had the white and black dial predecessors of 116500LN but sold them together with my other Rolex’s when I dove into brands like AP and ultimately PP. I didn’t want to buy any Rolex’s anymore but made an exception for the stainless steel Sky-Dweller blue...
Big congratulations to you....
Your words resonate with me. Although there are one or two modern Rolex that I like, I feel that the vintage post-1970 stuff is what works for me. Having said that, this Daytona is very appealing. Wear in teh best of health, J
Good to hear your happiness continues.
Not surprising, though, as this is a particularly attractive Daytona. And I agree that the dimensions are about perfect for a three register chronograph. Keep enjoying it.
Although i am not a huge Rolex fan i would see me wearing this Daytona 👌🏻😘
Love the dimensions of this model and the dark bazel against the white dail , very nice looking watch . Congrats and wear it in best of health
Congrats! Looking sharp.
I am waiting for mine 😀. I got into Rolex in 2012 with a DSSD followed by a number of vintage GMTM. And mostly recently a skydweller too. Agreed, their 40 mm models are well proportioned and sit well on the wrist. Rolex really has a way with design and fu...
Congratulations Volker! 👏😃

Thanks, Joe.
The black dial 116500LN has too much black and is too monochrome, IMO. I had the chance to choose between the two dial colors, and the white dial was my clear favorite from the very beginning. However, for me, it's a totally different story when looking a...
Good for you and looks like your AD loves you by getting this such a short wait 👏🏻
It is a great watch. Mine says Hi, wore this on Thanksgiving in a German restaurant 😁 Rgds Raymond ...
Yes, indeed. Thanks, Raymond.
Well, I have spent a considerable amount of money in the last 12 months or so at my AD, and they are one of the largest Rolex retailers in Germany. 😇
You have influence
with your Ad to request this watch in November and have it almost immediately.
Reciprocity is key.
They make me happy, I make them happy. Actually, it took 2.5 weeks which was pretty fast, indeed.
Congratulations!
It’s a great watch and I am happy to hear that you are enjoying it. I also have this and the steel skydweller and I agree that both are wonderful pieces. But, as you mentioned, the Daytona is a little smaller and thinner and for me, more comfortable. Best...
