Thank you all. Despite you being enablers, I am over the moon with this baby. Can hardly believe it's mine. Will see if this is a dream tomorrow morning, but am super excited. I appreciate all the kind words and will try to live up to the heritage of the watch.

I've already commented in this post but I just have to say another WOW!!!!!!! 31 YEARS of that paw-paw DJ and then BAM!!!! THE KING OF KINGS!!! This makes me think of selling my whole collection, pitch in some cash, and sail off into the sunset with this baby on my wrist......

Oh, and for a few others who were rightly confused based on my not well articulated post: I was and am on the list for a SS Daytona with a very nice local AD, but opted to get the PT from DSW instead.
