First one from DavidSW

Well I did it, my first purchase from David SW. He lived up to all expectations. I shopped around and David was the best deal by far, beating out my own guy up here in Canada. Even with exchange and duty I came out ahead.

I had to trade my Bluesy away, and make no mistake, we had four great years and it is an absolutely iconic reference. This one however is special. I love the smaller case profile, and the uncluttered bezel on this five digit. Plus a late 2000 model with the 3186 to boot. I am still in the honeymoon phase but will report back later on how it goes.

I’ve read glowing reports about DavidSW. I did look at getting my most recent DaytonaC from him but, managed to find one for a bit less elsewhere.

Haha I was so close to pulling the trigger on this one. Traded for a two tone DJ 41 instead, but that is a beautiful piece! Congrats!

Very nice! I personally like the refined profile of the five digit 40mm cases too.

Very nice, once you get a 5 digit it’s hard to back to inflated 6 cases

Very nice! I believe the 3186 didn't come out until ca. 2005 though.
