Finally - Platinum Daytona !!
It took some time and patience but I finally got the platinum Daytona!!

What a piece!! I've always been incredibly partial to Daytonas. When this came out at Basel last year I was not convinced from the pix

Then I tried one on and I knew it was just a matter of "time"

The presence is simply amazing. The weight is superb and the balance of it all just blows me away.

As soon as you pick it up you know this is something special!

I love it

Beauty, congrats!

Not sure where in Jersey you are, but we're trying to get a GTG going in the Princeton area. I'm sure all would love to see this piece in person

I love EVERYTHING about this watch. You are one fortunate person. Enjoy and congratulations!

By the way, if that's your 5164 in the background, wow, you have two of my personal favorites.
