Thanks a lot!

I have a Royal Oak Jumbo on my list and I would love to own a Vacheron at some point. And the ultimate grail would be a YG Daytona..

Just curious about the story behind it. AD or TS? New or preowned?

Enjoy in great health!
Bought at MSRP. Joined the waitlist a few months ago. Luckily didn't have to wait years due some industry connections.

Congrats.. you are making a lotta people jealous here.

Daytona in all of its form is an amazing time piece. As you said great on the wrist and it feels like made for you. Enjoy
