That's a great find! I would wear it and enjoy it, it's not a rare model and you'll only lightly affect the value of it. This does, of course, depend on if you paid a significant premium for it against current used prices.

Talk about patience though!

Ugh i'm so jealous.

I wish the current white daytona had black ring subdials.

Looks so sharp

My first reaction was that you must wear and enjoy it. Hearing though firstly that you bought it in the Burlington Arcade probably means that it was not cheap. Add to that you already have a newer Daytona and maybe heading towards retirement I think I would keep that baby pristine and treat it as an investment.

Blimey - great find! Knowing roughly where you were, can I ask what dealer you bought it from?
