Love that watch! I remember being in a Rolex store some years back, and a woman was looking at buying a Daytona, they only had this one and one other in stock. She didn't like the green... so I think she ended up buying non of them! If I had the money back then, I would definitely have bought that watch. It's so beautiful, that woman must have been crazy!
Fabulous watch! One of the best on the planet in my opinion. I got lucky also. Was very very surprised when I got the call from my AD. Enjoy that beautiful piece!
A stunning timepiece! Absolutely gorgeous! As always, your taste in watches is top class and your videos are among the best in the business... keep them coming!
When I was with Rolex AD last week collecting a watch, they stated quite a few watches, professional models coming in. Potentially the December allocations from Rolex early etc. Helping out ADs. Good to hear.
Imagine my surprise when I did a search for the Daytona to discover The Watch Guys .... can’t believe you bagged one, it’s absolutely one of my all time favourites - congratulations!!!
Yellow gold Daytona. Green face. Beautiful. I have a special order on this and platinum Daytona. Picked up a 41mm Sub last week in London through “click and collect”. Cheers for showing us your watches
The platinum and ice blue Daytona and now the Gold with that spectacular green dial. What could possibly upstage them..a Ferrari 458 Speciale possibly, a Pista Spider.. definitely. ...oh, i forgot, you have those too! Fabulous. I'm green with envy. 🤣
Stunning piece and glad you finally got it. Personally I’d prefer the Platinum blue Daytona but I’d be chuffed to bits to own either! Will look even better with a bit of patina.
Congrats Damien great piece. I hadn’t even really heard about this watch until John Major on talking watches. And then like you said the watch just skyrocketed. I was quoted 5-8 years for a steel Daytona or gmt master. But it’s ok I’m willing to wait my Seiko 5 sea urchin will hold me up tell then 👍🏿👍🏿
Hi Damien, love the Daytona, I have the 18ct Yachtmaster with Tahitian mother of pearl face which I bought new old stock 2012 & that dial is amazing so many different tones. The green dial on your new Daytona looks fantastic. With your car & watch collection you're certainly living life. Just enjoyed your new exhaust video for the Porsche.
Simply stunning watch Damian, thanks for sharing. Really enjoy the banter with Jason on TheCarGuys, how about a video where you review each other's watches?
@@TheWatchGuysTV Despite not having any purchase history with a lot of patience and persistence I’ve purchased 7 x Rolex Steel Professional models from 5 different AD’s in the UK since I made my first enquiry 4 years ago - including the ‘James Cameron’, ‘Hulk’, ‘Batgirl’ and 41mm ‘no date’ Sub. It’s nice to know that there are still a few ‘honest’ AD’s who don’t sell out of the back door or ‘bundle’ to grey dealers. Really enjoy your content Damien - continue to enjoy your beautiful collection - especially that stunning new addition!👍🙂
Amazing watch, never owned a nice watch i asked a rolex dealer anout the new green face steel sub, 5 to 7 year wait, also half gold black face daytona was 2 to 3 years. You and others damian have made me abit obsessed with rolex and i thank you and cant wait to buy my first. Great videos mate on both channels.
A friend of mine let me tried his 116509 blue dial and in my opinion it's the best modern Daytona! Oh btw you have already have a ceramic daytona, the Platinum one 😉 Damian do you like manual daytonas too? Are you planning to add one (or more) to the collection? I'd love a 6265 panda dial
Good on ya for getting your watch. I am glad to say I know the feeling of finally getting a grail. Also good for you fir wearing it. I think safe queens are sad. They are meant to be worn
I walked into an A.D in Manila back in mid 2018 and they had this solid gold green dial along with the white gold blue dial just sitting in the display case next to each other. Back then I think they both could have been had for a not insignificant discount.
The Rolex Daytona is a beautiful watch. Now I wonder if you can help me see and learn the story of a Rolex model that existed in the 80's. As soon as I hear the word Rolex, I think of this watch that was often shown as an advertisement in various magazines. What I remember was that the watch was in yellow gold, and the dial was available in the colors green, blue and red. Some of these Rolex watches had what I think were diamonds instead of numbers and others were gold rectangles. I think that some even had where it said weekday and number whose 3rd should have been. I think it was the most beautiful Rolex model I have seen. So today I like gold watches and if they have red, blue or green dial, they will be even more beautiful regardless of brand. Hope one day you can afford to buy such a Rolex from the 80's.
Quintessentially the representation of old money and wealth (meant as a compliment) The platinum and ice blue being new money and modern chic. It's great to see, even with such a great and varied collection, how happy this one makes you. Brilliant :)
Hi Congratulations mate, I think every watch enthusiast had experienced this happiness, after long waiting/hunting time for a timepiece. As for the watch, it's not my type of watch especially when it comes to Rolex, but probably in ten years I will the opposite as it already happened to me few years ago 😉
Right that’s it, should I require anything with a green hue it has to be ‘Amazon tree frog green’ from now on. 😉 You can almost touch the excitement from here, and I live over 200 miles away. HUGE congratulations Damian and so glad to hear it will driven to driven to des... wait a minute, I mean worn a lot and not shut in a chuffin safe all it’s life. 👍
Out of the two, the green is my favourite because it makes such a statement. The blue dial wg is a great watch, but I think it's very subtle, and the blue only comes alive in bright light, otherwise it just looks black.
Really enjoy seeing your wonderful collection. If only Laings sold car’s too... 😉 It’s great to see such an iconic brand working with established AD’s reciprocating customer loyalty. No doubt this controlled supply ensures that demand and residuals stay strong, but must bolster brand desirability and confidence too ? A principle the car world could learn from surely.
Hi. I have a 116509 dark grey dial (2010). I can add US$12500 in exchange for this 116509 blue dial (2020). Will you upgrade to the blue dial if you were me? Both are white gold daytona, and the upgrade is quite costly.
Another great video! Keep them coming. So it wasn’t your white gold Day-Date with a meteorite dial, diamond batons on a President bracelet that I had a peep at last time I was there? Love your photography.
Thanks again for another very enjoyable video, good to see you enjoying the experience of finally getting one of your ‘holy grail’ watches. 😀😀😀 P.s. I did find the Damian ‘with red eyes’ image rather disturbing. 😳😳😳
Oh Damien! You talk about amazing stuff; Ferrari 550 Maranello (the car guys channel) and the gold Rolex Daytona with green dial! Could life get any better? Perhaps for dedication we see you in a green V12 Ferrari :-) Absolutely love you channel!
@@TheWatchGuysTV Hi Damien I’m sure a lot of us would love to see you do a review on the ceramic steel Daytona, perhaps even a comparison of both dials. Then us viewers vote which we would go for! :-)
GREAT VIDEO!I AM HOPING TO SCORE ONE OF THESE IN 2021 HOPE IT WORKS OUT.LOVE THAT WATCH I HAD THE BLUE WHITE GOLD IN MY HANDS 3 YEARS AGO AND COULD NOT READ THE TIME.CONGRATS ON THE PURCHASE
Great videos and a beautiful watch as usual :) I find it unfair that some people can mass buy Rolex and put in safes while the rest of the world can only see it on youtube :(
I added the blue dial/white gold and the steel dial Oysterflex instead. To me, the YG/green dial is too “in your face” and I think it just begs to be robbed.
Goodness gracious how much for this watch which a woman can wear it ? Don't get me wrong the watch is beautiful and I enjoyed viewing your excitement 😀. I will stick with me seadweller. You see my wrist are 8 inches hence I wear 42 mm or bigger watches. Thank you for the vid cause I enjoy your channel.
Love that watch!

I just bought 116508 YG white dial yesterday but I will keep chasing green dial. This watch might be one of the goals of Rolex.
A stunning timepiece! Absolutely gorgeous! As always, your taste in watches is top class and your videos are among the best in the business... keep them coming!
Glad you like them!

No. Thank you for sharing your amazing car and watch collection with us. It is truly amazing.
Another great episode! Thank you for letting us be a part of your watch collecting journey!

That is a beautiful luxury watch. Being a lowly pauper, the green and gold dial reminds me of my Alpinist sarb017 😜
I hereby christen this the Christmas Daytona.
Yep I thinks i would quite like to see one hanging from my tree this year.

Yet another Grail which most of us won't get to own. Kudos Damien. For me the grand seiko holding the wrist time equally as beautiful.
My favorite Grand Seiko & Daytona in one video. You are blessed. Congrats and enjoy.
Thank you kindly!
The combination of that stunning green dial with gold is beautiful - congrats Damien 👍🥳

The Hodinkee effect. Perfect timepiece for these holidays in U.A.E when we can travel again.

SCRATCHED TO F*** 😂😂😂 legend. Congrats mate and enjoy it., another great video I always look forward to them thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Now I know why my AD struggled to keep a straight face, when I asked to be put on the list.
😀 he struggled because you did not buy enough datejusts
Hi Damien, love ur vids! Was wondering if the green dial is the same green as the hulk?
It's pretty similar, but even more Hulk than the Hulk!
Prefer the white gold blue face in the thumbnail video teaser, but massive congrats on ‘rare’ purchase
Be blessed my friend!! Stunning watch... I’m patiently waiting for mine as well!
Many congratulations Damian , love to see patience pay off . Enjoy it :) Well done .
Thanks, will do!

You will be 👏

Thinking about trying to get the solid gold, champagne dial/black sub dial. NEVER see or hear a thing about this watch. Is it rare or just unpopular 😂
Holy Shizzle! Beautiful... You’ve got some serious money invested in watches now. Congratulations!

Acquired few weeks ago-
Great review 👍

my boss is looking at the blue dial white gold version, how would you rank the two side by saide?
Out of the two, the green is my favourite because it makes such a statement. The blue dial wg is a great watch, but I think it's very subtle, and the blue only comes alive in bright light, otherwise it just looks black.
@@TheWatchGuysTV ah i see, thank you!
An incredible watch. Do you prefer the platinum daytona or this one ? Congratulations

Couple days late to the party, but what a magnificent watch. Congratulations my man!
Thanks for watching, Scott
A beauty!!! Have you still got this?
Of course
@@TheWatchGuysTV It is rumoured it will not be available next month!
Hi. I have a 116509 dark grey dial (2010). I can add US$12500 in exchange for this 116509 blue dial (2020). Will you upgrade to the blue dial if you were me? Both are white gold daytona, and the upgrade is quite costly.
No I wouldn't.
Beautiful watch, collect mine after lockdown had the call 😷
Awesome news
Congratulations! Truly a gorgeous watch.
Enjoy your new watch and wear in good health.

Well done my friend. A GORGEOUS watch!

That's a keeper. What is still remaining on your Rolex list for 2021, Damian?
Good question. I still don't have a steel white dial Daytona. Or a blue dial Sky Dweller.
Your smile says it all. You lucky boy
Stunning...... nothing more to say really ..👌🏻
Congratultions brother. Wear it in great health!
