Incoming OF Ghost

Picked up this beauty recently. Had the old reference in yellow gold that I let a friend buy from me last year.

Really missed one of these so happy to add one back into the rotation in a different gold. Honestly love all of the dial configs with these. The new Glidelock is amazing as expected.

The WG on oysterflex with steel dial is my favorite configuration. I’m of course more than a bit biased.

Did this take a long time to acquire? I’m hoping to get one soon.

Such a great reference. Originally asked for the black dial, but was pleasantly surprised by my wonderful AD.

I'd say about a year from when I originally asked. Hope it happens soon for you.

That is one of my favorites! The GHOST! So nice. I’m a huge Daytona fan, and that one in particular is stunning. I also love the 116509 WG with Blue dial. OMG, two of the most beautiful PM watches on white gold!

You can buy these on the grey market from a TD for darn close to retail now.

Beautiful piece.
Did the OF strap need adjusting / modifying at all?

Wonder where the nickname "Ghost" came from. it really disparages what IMO is the best model on the OF line.

Yes we changed out just one side, went one letter shorter. Before, the micro adjustment would have had to be all the way in at it's tightest.

Excellent! Love the OF Daytonas. The YML/Pickachu would be my top choice but the Ghost is a very close number 2.

Love the M car as well. What is it? I have a G82 M4 CompX
