Repurchased my 'Grail' today!!!

My 116509 WG Daytona 'Panda'.



I have no more Rolex desires.

Congrats on the repurchase! I remember when you sold it and I was wondering when it would return

Didn’t you sell your ceramic Daytona because it was too small for your wrist? Curious as to why you think this won’t meet the same fate. Congrats on a beautiful piece

Very nice and glad you are happy. I don't think you are old enough that the bug to add or change up won't hit you again.

Yeah, right. That's what we all say at some point, but it rarely, if ever, holds true.

That's very cool. My Sub weighed in at 226.7 Fully linked although I do have 2 links removed.

Curious if the Daytona is also 1/2lb fully linked?
