I love to say: INCOMING!!!

Dear friends,

finally, the queen has arrived!

I have never been a big fan of the Daytona, but when I had a chance to pick up a brand new SS black dial from the latest production series, I just had to have it!!!!

I am sure that some of you can FULLY understand what I mean...

And now, who wonders, I am overwhelmed by its pure class and beauty!

Not too small, not to big, elegant and sporty, 139 grs nice for daily wear, and then this BEAUTY.....

Needless to say that I am extremely happy.

And now, I hope you enjoy the pics!

Classic beauty, congrats.

I love how the Daytona wears, especially under a cuff. The only thing I ever wish for is a date, but that would clutter the dial. Enjoy.

Congratulations on your new Daytona... it looks great on your wrist. Where will this one fit in, in your rotation? Daily wear or weekends? Either way, wear it in good health!
