You're *absolutely* going to love the matte dial. This Daytona is one of the most strikingly beautiful, bordering on dazzling, lol, ever produced. And it's got a cool looking, motorsports vibe to it. Great for weekend drives in the country. Very big congrats. Mine says hello. Regards, -Rick.

I'm just following in your footsteps... Thank you Kind Sir! I do feel that I am Congratable... I was liking it because the Sub I traded had a black dial, and I don't see to many of them, and it matches my Porsche. I'm just real lucky I can say that... Thank you for the kind words.. GHave a merry x-mas! WEll, I picked up the box today, but when I talked to the wife who was away from home, she said for me to put it under the tree... Without opening it! So, there it sits... Thanks Muzz! you are one of the founders here, well at least to me and I appreciate a man of such caliber replying to my post! I hope it fits... Quote:
I would gladly go thru my last divorce again, if I knew I would be with the one I have now. and That's saying a lot! Be brave soldier. the Best is yet to come! I will be a great choice when I can wear it... X-mas...! argh...lol Yes, no more sneaky around at the wee hours in the morning trying to put something together only for her to rebuke it! Yes, I should reciprocate in kind and get her some new dish towels or similar...lol Thank you! Can't wait to see it myself... Lovely is a kool word. I'm liking it! Thankulations back at ya! Thanks Chris! that means a lot to me. I'm batting WG 2 for 2 hey Jay, I'm thinking it will be sicne I think the dial is discontinued... Thanks Tom! Your love for the model is renowned, and the photos you have taken over the years have also stuck with me. It is amazing how much a few well placed pictures have on ones memory, and your were always there as well. This will be my first Daytona Racing dial is Hot Hot Hot!

Thanks Chiboy! I know your Platona, plays on a whole different field, but it's nice of you to come down and say hi! I thought about getting her some dishtowels...?? Hehe no really I did get her a 116655 a while back and more recently a 1ct, tripple excellent, E color Round Diamond, and necklace. that should hold her over for the next yea, oops i mean month...

Oh! and your's is the brother from one big mother. (Rolex) it does wer very well on your wrist, and the Matte Dial is just puddin on the cake. I like it because it doesn't look exactly like a panda, and the colors are subtle. I mean the whole package is Stealth x2. I see you have also taken very good care of yours. What year is it? Quote:
Arabic's Rock! I always overthink the romans...hehe The arabics are less formal i feel, and they make for quick time telling! Thanks my friend! I feel that this piece in my collection really raises my WIS level. I will now need to learn about all the nuances of the model... Quote:
I also prefer the term Fantastico! it adds a little " I-Don't-know-what" to it...lol Quote:
I hear ya! I bought the wife a 116655 which I thought initially that she would take it off like her other jewelry and I could use it, but you knwo what happened...Yes! she never took it off and I was with ought one of my grails! The funny thing about the wife wearing one of your grails, is that you always get to see it from an on-lookers perspective and all the details that you might miss if it's on your wrist. So, really I do prefer to have her wear it, and while I'm wearing mine, I get to see two Lovely Rolex (s) at the same time! Be brave out there my friend, and we will see u one day

Wife has negotiated, and closed on a deal for a PM Rolex! Surprise Incoming...
The newer 116509 seem to have a slightly different bezel so the paint doesn’t come away.
Here’s my G serial.

OP has the watch already for sale in the classifieds here. Apparently the love affair didn't last long.
