Have found some time to share a few pics of the latest addition to the collection, a recently acquired SS white Daytona picked up at a Hong Kong AD. Primarily bought for my lovely wife, but as she is still on holiday in Hong Kong, I've taken the liberty of resizing for myself. Hmmm, maybe I'll lose the screwdriver....

drtooth73 · 18 July 2010, 08:47 PM

Your wife does not need it, keep the Daytona for yourself. Sweet watch, I wish I had one.

FLAJIM · 18 July 2010, 09:18 PM

Enjoy, thats my "dream" watch. I almost had a black face but I am holding out for the white.

Be safe JIM

Fearsome Puppy · 18 July 2010, 09:24 PM

Thanks

For me I personally like both the white and black equally whilst wifey prefers the white, other deciding factors to go for white is that our watches are predominately black dialed (and the SS Daytona along with EXP II great examples of white dials) and in Hong Kong the black dial SS commands a significant additional premium over the white version.

nauticajoe · 18 July 2010, 09:49 PM

Beautiful watch. Congrats!

Shade · 18 July 2010, 09:58 PM

Nice! Well I'd take black or white anytime!

esm · 18 July 2010, 11:57 PM

love it Kevin - especially the white dial.

how about a diamond necklace for the wife so you get to keep the 'tona?

sea-dweller · 19 July 2010, 02:03 AM

Congrats !

Rolexsd4000 · 19 July 2010, 02:10 AM

CONGRATS! for wife? Keep the Daytona and give her your other Rollie

spuds · 19 July 2010, 02:12 AM

Congratulations mate..... (& yep.... I'd keep it!!)

Latrodectus · 19 July 2010, 02:14 AM

Beautiful watch, Kevin. Congrats!

JUSTROLEXES · 19 July 2010, 02:25 AM

Congrats Kevin

, I would ask the wife to extand her stay

kenhiraihnl · 19 July 2010, 02:40 AM

Congratulations. I'm always amazed how Rolex placed all the complications and details of the Daytona so tastefully in a 40mm...

TheVTCGuy · 19 July 2010, 03:47 AM

Nice Kevin!

OYSTERMANN · 19 July 2010, 08:48 AM

Fabulous Daytona, Kevin

I take it that the screwdriver has now definitely gone missing!!

kcmo · 20 July 2010, 10:42 AM

Congrats on a beauty! I love mine and have no doubt that your wife will love it

Art 1 · 20 July 2010, 11:06 AM

Nice.

Fearsome Puppy · 20 July 2010, 10:13 PM

Thanks guys for the generous comments and advice. Methinks that I'm going to have to come up with a crafty ploy here.

Here's a thought, what I'll do when I retrieve the missus from HK in a couple of weeks is take some pics of the Daytona on her wrist, upload with mine and then we can have a VOTE OFF here on trf...

Needless to say, you know who to vote for. hint, hint....
