Double the pleasure = Daytona SS ceramic 116500 white + ?

My AD has been very good to me this year!

I received a call from my friendly AD asking me if I wanted an early Xmas present to accompany my Daytona SS ceramic in white that I picked up in February.

ABSOLUTELY!!

Even with the apparent scarcity of many SS models at ADs around the world, my AD received recently some pieces and gave me the opportunity to purchase a Daytona SS ceramic in BLACK!

I thought my watch budget was all used up in 2017 but how do you turn down owning both new Daytonas in white AND black dials!

Without a doubt I have been very fortunate this year :)

Both white and black dials are stunning. I still like the white dial more; however, the understated black dial is growing on me and definitely wears differently and visually larger on the wrist.

Time will tell which one I prefer more. Choosing a watch to wear in the morning has certainly gotten more difficult! Hahaha!

I have included a few pics:

Nothing beats the white and black duo. Big congrats! I’m on the list for a black to match my white and I’m feeling like I’m pretty close to the top!
