Wristshots Time

Ok, I've been waiting for this moment for over 11 years and TODAY is my DAY to proudly present wrist shots of my Daytona (I can't believe I'm posting this tread :yahoo: ). For the last 5 days I have been unable to sleep at night anxiously waiting to wear my Daytona for the first time. These 5 days have been the longest and I'm glad its over. I'm not dreaming I actually own a Daytona, finally. :cabbagepatch: Anyway, I started out the day with a nice breakfast at 7:50 AM, then I woke-up the children got them dressed and prepared a nice breakfast for them. At 10:05 AM we were ready to go to Church so, I went to my room to get my Daytona. :yahoo: Guys, let me tell you, I felt like I was making love, it felt so GOOOOOOOOOOD to wear my Daytona for the first time. :beardjump: :rocker: :cheer: Ok, let me stop talking and let's see some pics, enjoy it!







































I hope you enjoy it and soon I'll remove all the plastics.

I've tried to wear watches on left but, it feels wrong and uncomfortable. I wish I could keep the plastics for a while but, as you may know they collect dust and can easily cause hairline scratches.

Thanks Jason, I hope I don't have to wait another 11 years to get the white dial. Ops, I hope my wife doesn't read this post.

I was thinking the same thing.

Congratulations Hamilton. I couldn't think of a worthier person to have this watch. You've always been a perfect gentleman and a great TRF'r.

Wear that baby in good health.
