Just stunning. Such a prettier watch than the SS - it is, as they say, the Bomb.

About my second one....

How I got the SS Daytona...After receiving my new meteorite a few weeks ago, a good friend noticed what I was wearing and told me that he had a Black SS Daytona he no longer wanted in his collection (he has a thing for 47mm Pans and Breitlings).

He wore it only once, and it had all the protective plastics box and goodies intact. Call an ambulance! After I picked myself up off the floor, one thing led to another and I acquired my second Daytona in less than a month.

I am right there with you. I wish they had more options for unusual one of a kind dials; it makes this watch, IMHO all the more extraordinary and collectible.

Do you know of any others that offer this kind of option, unless you go to the limited edition variety?

The Daytona has never really been one of my favorites. But I have to admit, I really like it with the meteorite dial!
