New Member/New Watch

My first post here. Just received a new SS/YG Daytona/Blue Face from DavidSW and it is exceptional. It is probably not for everyone, but it caught my eye and I was hooked!

Reading TRF can be very addictive. Didn't know that when I first came here, but it quickly became apparent. I read every thread I possibly could to learn as much as possible, and there was (and still is) plenty I don't know about Rolex watches. No surprise there.

I realized that my trusty SS DateJust, which has been worn almost daily for the past nineteen years, needed another Rolex to keep it company. There's a natural anxiety in "wiring" serious funds to someone you don't know, but I listened to what all of you had to say and took your advice about dealing with a trusted seller with an established track record. The result, courtesy of DavidSW, is what you see below:)

Looking forward to becoming a member in good standing within this community.

Welcome, the TT Daytona is a very under appreciated watch IMO. A buddy of mine wears one and it's just stunning.
