Hi,

I use to collect watches many years ago, use to have a TT Sub, IWC Doppel, Fleiger and Aquatimer. Then sold them all to fund a deposit on a house!

Anyways, house is all paid off so I'm back into watches again.

This afternoon I picked up a Daytona to add to my collection, I've always wanted one and finally my dreams have come true!



My slowly growing collection now consists of 4 lovely timepieces:

Not from Melbourne but close enough
I'm in Sydney but considering the size of this forum relatively close by. The collection looks great and the Daytona superb! Have been struggling with the Daytona black face/white face dilemma for a while. what made u decide?

Decided on the white face as I've already got a black face (GMT II C) and a green face (The Hulk), and so didn't need another black face, so white it was!

Wish it was that easy for me. I have 5 watches. 2 black face & 2 white face and the 5th is a JLC Reverso and you guessed it, one side is black the other white...

Many thanks! Am now on the lookout for maybe an AP, possibly a Royal Oak 15300 or 15202, fingers crossed I can come across one at a decent price!
