Incoming!! First AP! Second incoming post

2 weeks ago posted I just got my first AP, Signed up Feb 9th so my account was deleted next day or so due the forum issue with all those post deleted as well.

So this is my first AP, never tried one before so when I received the call I was a little bit concerned about the size and fit on my wrist , this is my first 38 mm watch , my wrist size is 6.75" , to be honest when I went to the boutique I wasn't even sure if it was the right watch for me, but I said ok let's do it I'll decide later, after a few days of wearing it , I got used to the size and man this is a really beautiful timepiece, super comfortable, Pictures don't do it justice, this is a watch you have to see in person to discover all those details.

here are some pictures

Beautiful!! Wear in good health.
I reckon the super awesome polished steel surfaces are ding magnets - so you gotta be super careful.

I didn’t have a choice to be honest , meet my SA months before but never discussed what model I was looking for , just mentioned Several times I was looking to get a RO, When I got the call and he said he had the ROC rhodium dial available for me , I was like ugh I’d prefer the white one , but having a white Daytona I think the rhodium dial is a perfect addition to my collection
