Lady Luck do smile when she wants to..
Timing couldn’t be more perfect as I’m retiring in a couple of weeks after almost 38 years in the industry. I’ve always had this notion that a nice gold watch to mark the occasion would be most appropriate.
Visions of the YG Sub with blue dial and nipple hour markers invaded my sleep... A worthy addition to a bucket list for some here I think. Alas, the 16808 had left the station a long while ago.
And so earlier this week, the AD rep texted me with some good news! With a fellow Purists accompanying me (thank you kind sir!), I pulled the trigger. Not exactly a 16808... but worthy of any collection imho and marks my retirement very nicely.
Please welcome my 116519LN
And of course thanking my Lady Luck 😊

Big congratulations on the watch and retirement ! What a catch !
Can you PM me lady luck’s address ? I need her to help me get my Pepsi 😉
Thank you Nico 🙏🏻
Yes, more leisure time... And hopefully here too. Not too much at the ADs I’m hoping 🤣
Huge congrats on your retirement and your catch!
You chose a great "retirement" watch I believe, you're equipped for everything with it. Could I borrow your Lady Luck btw? 😜
Congratulations, excellent choice, that's my fav Daytona.
Enjoy it, and your retirement. Vte
Retirement
Congrats on your latest edition. It’s a beauty and what I like about this version is that’s it’s relatively introvert. By the way, retirement is highly overrated, I just retired 2 months ago, already reversed it to semi-retirement because being only retir...
Thank you for your kind words Jurry 🙏🏻
By the looks of the bucket list growing, don’t think I can stay retired for long too! 🤣
Congratulations, my friend!
Retirement or not, this is an awesome piece, and IMO, nicer than the steel versions and is more under the radar.
Thank you Richard 🙏🏻
I must agree with you... the oysterflex downplays the watch to the uninitiated. Quite similar to the 5167/5164 imo.
Congratulations, Kamal!
A very nice Dayto, I love the warm color tones! I hope it will always remind you of a fulfilling working life. Cheers, Daniel
Thank you Daniel.
The wg is a few shades warmer than steel and the sunburst dial does give a certain warm glow overall imo.
Many congrats
for this wonderful catch! For me one of the most beautiful Daytonas. And for sure a timeless piece. And all the best for your new chapter in life. ☺️ Thomas P.S.: I have to confess I like the second pic, too!
Thank you Thomas 😃
I am approaching the next chapter with much anticipation... After working for that many years, I’m so used to the daily regiment of activities. It’ll be awkward the first few weeks I’m sure. Nonetheless, I’ve lined up a couple of things to fill the voids....
The daily regiment of
activities... I know exactly what you mean. 🙄 Nevertheless I for myself have decided to work until 90. So... 😄 But I envy you for the time you will be able to dedicate more time to our beloved hobby... Regarding the second beauty you simply have to find o...
Very nice retirement gift and huge congratulations ...
I’ll personally take the Lady Luck over all Rolexes,, lol....
Congrats Kamal, on both counts.
The precious metal oyster flex combination is something I like very much.
Happy retirement Kamal!
