Initial pics (with phone)

Daytona was actually a black face rather than white as advised. Not a problem to me anyhow.

Bonus LV pic also!

Thanks to all for the kind words, still can't believe that I got both grails from UK ADs at MSRP (neither can the bank...!), was always told I'd have to go grey market. Everywhere & anywhere in the world I went I checked in at ADs. Never came up with anything (well apart from the DSSD - but I dodn't know I wanted that until I tried it on!). All I can say is NEVER GIVE UP!

Merry Xmas to you and your families :-)

"Holy Smokes Bullwinkle", what a great day you had. I hope buyers remorse doesn't settle in. Enjoy them both and make sure you take care of your wife, "extra special".

...I am so in the doghouse... !

Know what you mean about buyer's remorse. Still thinking "did I do the right thing". BUt felt I had to pull the trigger before the price increases, and decide what to do long-term later on. As didn't know when I'd get "the call" again.

1st day of Daytona wear. Who said the chrono function is redundant in everyday use? I already timed my eggs! ;-)
