I got lucky! Incoming


I feel extremely fortunate to have gotten the call for this classic. I met a super SA at a great AD about a year and a half ago. We hit it off and I told him the White Daytona was my grail and if by any chance I could get on their list I’d certainly appreciate it. In the meantime I picked up a DJ31 for my wife from them and was told at some point I’d get a Daytona. I kept in touch but never pestered my SA. He’s a man of his word and the AD is top notch. Keep it real with the SA and you may get the call too. This timepiece really is something special!!

Congrats! Everyone seems to think that only money talks, but I really do think it’s possible to get a Daytona with a little bit of patience, persistence and a demonstrable love of watches. Glad it worked out.

Amazing - congrats! I have been able to get some recent models, but have been on the waitlist for 3 years for this Daytona. I just emailed my AD as a reminder because of your post, hope it helps!
