One Daytona gone - another just arrived

Had my SS Daytona (white face) for just over a year. Terrific watch. But when I saw the two tone version with the panda dial, I knew that was the watch for me. I realize there isn't much middle ground when it comes to the two tone Daytona - you either love it or you don't. As I couldn't swing having both, the SS had to go. Thanks to David SW, securing the new watch was easier than expected. The combination of that dial with the gold on the watch and bracelet is just awesome!

Stunning!!!!
The Panda dial gives the Daytona an almost visual effect of a larger watch IMO....The accent of the 2 dial colours, makes the watch pop!!
Congrats on your purchase...

I wish I could do the two-tone bit, but it doesn't really suit my style. :-( Congrats on the new piece!
