New watch today!

V-Series white face Daytona with no premium :) I've been drooling over this watch for years, and finally went for it. It really is an incredibly comfortable watch to wear. Here is my customary phone pic wrist shot on the drive home from the AD :)

Congratulations on your Daytona.
That is a good photo, especially as it was taken using your phone.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Yes it took a few minutes at the AD to get all the stickers off, and I still found a couple more around the clasp area this evening. I think I have them all now :)

As for my phone, I just use a Blackberry Curve 8900. It takes decent pictures for a phone I guess, never really had much to compare it to, since my last phone was an older Blackberry with no camera at all.

I have a BlackBerry Curve as well, but have never been able to shoot a pic as clear as yours. Nice watch.
