Finally Black Daytona Incoming

It goes to show you that patience is definitely a virtue. One year of being on the list and it finally comes in. Of course two weeks after the price increase but hey I’m not complaining. 13.9K out the door. I know the majority on this forum like the white but to me there’s no comparison. The black dial is just stunning in every way. I could’ve taken either one because both were an option for me. I chose black. I was so excited when I got to the AD I could barely speak properly. LOL

Congrats!!!

Are you planning on getting another one from this AD? Since you got this one you can probably ask for anything. What about a Batgirl to complement this Daytona?

I wasn’t expecting the Daytona. It was a total surprise. Actually I didn’t expect the day date so soon either (I was told May) but that came in a few months sooner than I thought.

I love the black. But I don’t think it would get any wrist time for a while if I also had that day date you just picked up.

No. I actually owned the white dial when it first came out. I just couldn’t get to where I loved it. I felt like it was wasted on me and at that time it was even more sought after than today if you can believe it. So I hooked a friend up and sold it. I guess I picked white originally because it was what was most popular and that was stupid. I really should’ve studied them better and then I would’ve known I like the black more. I can read the black a little better but I had no problem telling time on the white. I do hate that the Daytona does not have a date but I understand it’s tradition.

I was pretty excited when I arrived at the AD I was stuttering while talking.

What surprised me was how all the other sales people were acting. Like myself and my sales lady were the plague or something. They all walked around with little attitudes that it wasn’t their clients that got it or something. Kind of pissed me off actually. Other than that I was pretty excited for 24 hours until I can get there to get it.
