Daytona Incoming
Hi guys,

Back in 2013 I sold my SS Daytona to help with the purchase of my Patek 5980. Well, it turns out I'm a Daytona guy and I missed it ever since.

So, very happy to have finally bought a replacement. I love that there have only been incremental changes - my new Daytona is pretty much identical to the one I bought about 10 years ago. The only changes I can tell are an improved clasp and chromalight lume. It feels like I've got my old watch back!
