My First Rolex (Take 2) - WG Daytona Z serial

Got my first Rolex (sort of)

Rolex Daytona White Gold with Silver Face - Z-serial.

long story short - about 5 months ago I bought a Rolex Daytona SS and returned because it was Z but brand new from dealer - was suppose to get a G but it was sold (or so they say) I decided I'd rather buy a used White Gold Daytona for a bit more money than pay retail or premium over retail for the SS Daytona.

Picked it up from seller today after verifying at a local AD. I finally pulled trigger since the seller was local and I preferred buying from private party and saved probably an extra 8-10% off what dealer would have charged.
