I was never a one watch guy until......
This watch has ruined me and my other watches are now dust magnets! Full disclosure- I had a 116520 black dial and couldn't flip it soon enough. It was small on my wrist, couldn't read the dial, etc. When I saw the Basel pics I thought, Wow!! That white is sweet!! I got mine about a month ago and it's been love ever since. I could truly own this one and no other. So I FINALLY get all the Daytona hype.

Honestly,the look is night and day. Same comfortable fit obviously BUT it wears quite a bit larger. It feels like a true 40mm. The 116520 looked like a 38 mm on me.

One of your early wrist shots was my iPhone lock screen saver for nearly a month.

I was a speedy fan (still am) and never understood the Daytonas... I can honestly say after the 116520s and waiting for the 116500 I get it now. Beautiful pieces. Congrats again and we'll always remember you were first on trf op.

I'm LMAO ALEX!!! Yes that caught some serious attention. I went in the following day back to the store I bought it at, and they told me the phones rang off the hook with people calling about the watch. They weren't really thrilled! I think it got like 20k views in 12 hours. It's been fun, butI can truly say I love it more each day.
