Welcome to TRF!!

Great acquisition there! It is such a highly sought after watch throughout the whole world.

Nice pictures. Hey, two years aint that bad of a wait either.

Welcome to TRF, "Google"

Well, you just got the most sought-after current Rolex watch in the world, perhaps even THE most sought-after watch currently made in the world.

To get a BLACK dial SS Daytona is an even more rare event, since there are more "Whities" out there than the "Cos Black Face".

IMHO, the Daytona 116520 is one of the BEST Rolex watches ever made.

You know ive been calling the AD about every 3 months asking how close i was to getting it. When i got back from vegas about 2months ago I called and he told me i was 3rd from the top. So I was just waiting for a call any day. As soon as i got the call i think i started jumping through the roof.

Also to answer a question above, my daytona did not come with a rolex logo'd cleaning cloth. it came with this weird leathery rectangled cloth, works great.
