Got the call - RG Chocolate Daytona

Hi all

Well, that was a crazy weekend!

Just out with the wife shopping on Saturday afternoon.

Took an unexpected call from an AD I’ve used in the past but I wouldn’t consider myself a VIP customer or anything like that.

Don’t get me wrong, I do have a modest history with them, but nothing like the sort of spend history you would imagine would be required to get offered a piece like this

Regardless the call came & here we are, the proud owner of a new RG Chocolate Daytona.

All I can say is Wow!

Another ‘pics do not do this watch justice’ piece.

Still in a bit of shock tbh, it all happened in a bit of a whirlwind & I’m still going over it in my head trying to take it all in.

Your never quite sure if spending this kind of money on a watch is the right thing to do, but I guess it’s too late for that now, just got to put that to one side & enjoy the moment.

Thanks for looking, hope to post some better pics when I’ve got more time to take some properly.

Cheers

Thank you for all the kind comments - I must admit it is rather special & it’s still not fully sunk in yet that it’s actually mine!
