Incoming Daytona

I am so happy, I managed to get a black face Daytona C today, at the retail price. I had given up hope, then my luck changed!

Huge congrats Micheal.

Are you planning on keeping both Daytona's new and old?

Would be great to hear your thoughts on new vs old.

I will spend some time with both and see, but my current thinking is to probably keep the white one because it has been through a lot with me, also, it was my first Rolex.

Will put some thoughts down after some time.

Thanks...Yes! I actually had given up. After visiting the ADs many times and getting a longer waiting time after every visit I lost hope. A week ago my contact suddenly materialized with the watch, so it was unexpected.

Congrats michael! I've fallen head over heels for the black dial at this point. Everytime my phone rings I keep hoping it's from my ADs area code
