OK Ladies and Gent's, I got the white dial SS Daytona today around 11:45am. I unpacked it and took it out of the box and immediately put it on. What can I say, it was simply divine. I was right in the middle of taking some pic's and my phone rings. HMMMM! Do I answer it?

I figure what the heck, might as well, although I WAS being interrupted by it. So I answer and it's a gentleman from an AD that I had spoke to about a week ago about a SS Daytona. So all the while I'm thinking what a dejavu this is turning into. Could this be happening again? As it turns out, he has a black dial SS Daytona he just got in and wants to know if I'm still interested in it. (Dejavu confirmed) So I told him Hell yes, and I jumped in the car and went and picked it up. ($7,900 / No Tax) Today was like hitting the jackpot and I still can't believe it happened. I've pinched myself quite a few times throughout the day to make sure I'm not just dreaming.

So here are the pic's I have so far. Please excuse the dust and lint! I didn't have time to properly polish them up before the shoot.

Congratulations!! What are the chances!? Astronomical!

Where the heck are you finding these ADs and why dont they have bunches of people trying to get them!!?

I am guessing that one of these will be for sale soon?

Nice score right before the price increase!

Wolfgang427 · 20 February 2008, 04:19 PM

Wow, congrats on your double score.

Andad · 20 February 2008, 04:25 PM

badsmac · 20 February 2008, 04:34 PM

YOU DA MAN BRO!

Felly Jr. · 20 February 2008, 05:21 PM

It was a once in a lifetime score, that's for sure! Here's a couple more pic's. I'll try to get some more taken in some better light.

I definitely like the white dial a lot better than the black, and so does the better half.

Alex Stylianou · 20 February 2008, 05:48 PM

You lucky lucky bastard ( Monty Python's Life of Brian he he )

walds11 · 20 February 2008, 08:44 PM

NO NO! Buy ME a lottery ticket! You pick the numbers and mail it. I'll send ya a check

Big congrats on the double-whammy! An exceptional score, they look GREAT! Plus, it solves the issue of wanting white or black, too. Wonderful!

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 February 2008, 10:35 PM

I am not really impressed!

I have a MUCH rarer one. The ultra-rare "Zenith"/Rolex in-house black/white Daytona:

(Pic from my Photobucket).

So THERE!

Congrats, my friend! You must be very happy!

Bo, which AD do I need to call to pick up one of those "Zen-ex Yin/Yang DT's"? I'm SURE the only thing that stands between me and one of those beauties is just a few phone calls!

crimscrem · 21 February 2008, 12:47 AM

Wow. All I can saw is wow. Great looking watches. Unbelievable luck in getting not one, but two from ADs.

mdtddd2007 · 21 February 2008, 01:01 AM

Good for you. That's awesome!!! I like the White one. You lucky guy. Cheers to your Watch.

crimscrem · 21 February 2008, 01:05 AM

You know, I have always been of the mind that the white face was much nicer than the black face. Now I'm not too sure. The black face looks equally amazing now that I see them side by side. I would still rather have the white one since I have the GMT-IIc, but boy, they both look equally nice.
