Grey dial 116509 / 126509
Thinking about picking up the “ghost”
on bracelet but haven’t seen it in person, so for anyone that has, I have a few questions.
1) is it hard to read counters, or is there good contrast?
2) how would you describe the grey / silver? Any easy comparison to something well known? Or if you’ve happened to see a PP 5609 (this version). Looks like it may be similar to the subdial.
Thanks!

I think it’s a great watch.
Amanico’s description is spot on. Readability depends on lighting conditions. In my picture below you can see an opposite angle and how easy it is to read. Funny thing is that I love the chronograph complication, but rarely use it. I like the look more th...

I have it and would agree 100% with this assessment. And to be fair, I don’t think any Daytona (or most chronos) are particularly easy to read or that functional if you need precise timing. But it is a stunning watch and I am very pleased with it. It is a...
Same here
I have quite a few chrono but don’t use them very often for that purpose. Love the way they look though. As far as legibility, speedy pro seems to be one of the better ones. It’s just one of those things that I enjoy if I ever need it, and remember to use...
