Thanks guys,
I love this watch! Now the decision....
For me it's the silver dial, I love those smoke-black numerals, the whole watch brings out the kid in me.
The circular layout, the red touches, It has a "Joie de vivre".
BTW, two things happened to send me over the edge. One: saw the watch in a shop window in Europe, but the shop was closed for THAT DAY ONLY! Doing inventory. I'd not seen this watch in person yet, but always loved it in photos.
I couldn't get it off my mind after that 'close encounter.'
Then, Dr Strong posts his 'choose one' post....... and there it was again! By far my fave of the bunch.
Aaaaah... must decide.

Mostel, some thoughts about the 116509
I don't own it, but I considered it a lot, some times ago... So I tried it at least ten times! In the 2 colors of dial, silver and grey anthracite... The 1st thing is that the whole watch being in gold, yes, the weight is important... Too Heavy? Don't thi...
Mmmh
a nice croc, or a tan one...customized You crazy Paneristi and your straps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I agree with your comments and IMHO the main interest of the 116509 is the amazing dial(s) with red outer chapter ring and matching red hands...Brr...
I think the 116509 is the nicest version of the Daytona...
The red markers and hands really show up on the silver dial. I think they blend more with the gray/black dial. The meteorite dial is very nice, but not as bold and legible as the silver dial. For my old eyes, the silver is the way to go. And it is heavy, ...
