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!

Personally legibility is overrated at such a watch!
You will look at it and - if you cannot read it properly, you will tilt it very gladly and with joy a couple of degrees to the left or to the right… 🤩 It is one of the nicest Daytonas❣️
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...
+1
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...
