I went to look at a few Rolexes today..

I took a few pictures for you... I've never seen an SS Daytona in the flesh before so this was a great chance to try it on.. Very much so a rarity to see one in stock in the UK too!






I also have taken a liking to the DateJustII in TT Its about £200 cheaper than the SS Daytona too








Also some good news! I have put my name down on the list to get a WHITE or BLACK dial EXPLORER II (Basel Model).. They are just waiting on the delivery!

Can't go wrong with the Daytona Dino

Your LV is a great daily wearer, not sure about the TT...

Correcto! I have been waiting on one for about 6 months now... Unfortunatly funds won't allow for me to buy one yet, soon as I have the cash.. I'll whip one up when the AD calls

Better when bringing one home, but always fun to go out and do a little window shopping.
