I Love Summer!
Got my Daytona last December. It has largely been hidden behind long sleeves since, so I have to pull back the sleeve or shake down the watch to the end of my wrist to really see it. Both of which I do when no one is looking more often than I will admit anywhere other than here.

But now it spring/summer in Chicagoland, and short sleeve shirts abound. And even some sun! I am really enjoying seeing the watch without having to adjust it, and especially seeing the sometimes silver, sometimes blue, sometimes light green tint of the dial.

I may have to move to a warmer climate!

Edited to add picture, in all its dusty glory:

Thank you kindly. I must admit I get a little jolt of adrenaline/joy every time I strap it on. No disappointments here!

I was thinking you were on the other side of the hemisphere, but now I'm thinking you're in Colorado.
