I'm following your thread too because I like the 116519LN
and also the full WG bracelet/steel bezel models 116509 (in blue dial as well)
I would love to know if you considered either of the 116509 models and any thoughts you have. I have not been able to see one in the metal at any ADs yet.
I don't think I am too bothered by the old steel bezel. I like the new ceramic bezel but it would not be a deal breaker to skip it.
What I have noticed is that on the street, it seems that the full WG bracelet models are only about another couple of percentages more vs. the oysterflex bracelet. And one could go the non-OEM route and get aftermarket rubber bracelets later. So I guess it would be the best of both words to be able to change between the full WG bracelet and a rubber bracelet. Would like to hear if any members do it.

Thoughts on Daytona in WG and Oysterflex
Looking into making a new watch purchase, narrowed it down to a few brands but probably the most coveted is the Daytona. Here's the thing - I don't want the SS one. The ADs in Paris do not have waiting lists, and the watch sells at 40-50% premium online -...
I own this one. It's fantastic.
Dial is fantastic to see. I also own the black dial steel. Both lovely watches but the WG is my choice between the two.

For some reason I want the rubber bracelet :-)
I know the full PM versions each have a different dial, however the weight would be an issue, plus as I mentioned having full SS Nautilus makes full SS Daytona a bit redundant in my eyes.
yes the heavy weight is something I need to try on at dealer and feel if it is a dealbreaker
But typically I like a heavier watch in the fall and winter. So that is why I was thinking you could change to the rubber bracelet for comfort & lighter weight when necessary. and then have the option of WG bracelet for when you want all precious metal fe...
I own the 116500LN and was lucky enough to buy it at retail price
If I could assume the WG on Oysterflex, I'll buy it too. Both are cool and the Oysterflex is really confortable.
Some might say it looks dull
But if you dwell deeper on it then you notice how captivating this one is: all cleverness and prestige that Rolex stands for.
I would do the same thing.
Recently I attended a GTG that has this WG model worn by a friend and was blown away. I’m on the waitlist with my AD.
Update: I saw this one today and I’m convinced
Dropped by my local Rolex AD today and as luck would have it, they had both this Daytona WG Oysterflex that you like and the older 116509 WG blue dial as well as a few other gold models. The Daytona WG Oysterflex dial is livelier and more vibrant in the m...
