thanks, I'll take a look ... I want to daily mine best as I can, I'm quite careful naturally, apart from being notoriously clumsy, so would like to add something to the clasp ..

Did you specifically expressed interest in it? How long was the wait? I have a feeling Rolex just sent a large OF Daytona shipment to NA

It does hold value well even in the current market. Most likely won’t get much profit if resell it after a couple of years, but will recover purchasing cost for sure.

In new condition you can flip for a couple of thousands more if you want (I personally wouldn’t do it). So it is safe to pick it up from AD, live with it for a week or two and then decide what to do.
