A Pleasant Surprise
I forgot that I had asked my local AD to be added to the “List” for this and was pleasantly surprised when they called me.

I'm still in the "Don't Hold Your Breath" stage for a Daytona.

Or ... there’s no such thing as MK1 MK2 MK3, just different colors throughout the production run.

I hope that’s the case, and that Rolex didn’t decide MK1 was what they were going for in terms of colors, because I hope to be receiving mine in a couple months. I would seriously consider passing if its the pink/purple hues of the MK1....I much prefer the deep red and dark blue of the MK3

I’m also hoping for a call and when I see people post about getting one my initial reaction is lucky SOB followed my a smile. Enjoy your new watch.

Maybe it’s come full circle and the one lady that cooks them up made mk10 = mk1

It’s possible

Enjoy!
