Incoming! -- don' we just love to say that?
The usual thanks go out to all the enablers on this forum. You know who you are!! And especially to David for always posting irresistible pieces in the For Sale section.
And on with the pictures..  It started with some PMs and then this...  Four days later...  On the way home, after picking up the little ones...  And the unwrapping begins...  Inside the Large box is this...  And inside that...  Then this...  Finally, the coronet...  The green box...  What's inside the box?  This!!!   No time to resize the bracelet yet so this wrist shot will have to do  And here they are together. It's so much heavier too and gives a more solid feel. What an amazing dial!  Thanks for joining me on my first TRF and online watch purchase from none other than our trusted seller, DavidSW. An absolute pleasure to work with. Many thanks David! |

Beautiful!
The Daytona is one of the few Rolex models I actually find MORE appealing in 2-tone than pure stainless steel; just more visually interesting to me, less monotone, and works extremely well with the polished center link. And that dial...
