INCOMING....The great white has arrived! Take a look!
First off I must send a very big THANK YOU to my wife for suffering through and supporting me through my insane addiction to timepieces. This addiction goes way back before i knew her but it has gotten much worse. I mean better.

Honey, if you ever find this post, pleas know I would sell them all in a heart beat (with little to no depreciation in value) just to make you happy.

And to all of you on TRF who helped me come the decision to pick up the beauty below. I couldn't be happier with the the look and feel of this great timepiece. If you are interested in some decent reading I have included the links to the other posts where you all helped me decide...

NOW, Without further delay......(And sorry about the unboxing, I know it's a bit annoying but I have to do it once in my life) here it goes.

Congrats. I was thinking you were talking about the Omega Great White. Never heard anyone refer to a Daytona as a great white. Only one I knew was the speedy

Thanks Diamond Jack! I immediately took off the protective stickers as I knew the daytona had come home...it may be more comfortable than my GMTiic.
