Daytona!!!!
Well guys I got the call today!!!! Its an M-series 070XXX
I couldnt believe I got it this quick!!! I absolutely love it.. The pics suck. I had to take them at the AD with a not so great camera. They are shipping it to me out of state to save on tax so I will get better ones later!!!!! I hope you guys like it as much as I do!!!!

Congratulations Robb! Glad you got it! If you want to avoid the pain and discomfort of breaking it in (it really IS painful), I'll be glad to wear it for the first 6 months...

How do you get it shipped out of state? Do you have a relative or friend living there? I would like to do the same but not sure how to do it. I think I could persuade my AD. Or did you buy it out of your home state? Thanks!

It really does look better in person. I was afraid with it being black dial that it would look like any other Rolex but this thing really stands out!!!!

Congrats on getting that beauty!
And the Black Cos, to boot! Hmm. Are the SS Daytonas becoming more common??

I dont think so Bo. The owner of my AD is very close to someone very high up at Rolex NY. Anyway, I expressed to him how bad I wanted a Daytona on sept 9th. He said " I know you would never get a Daytona to try and make money off of. Do you really want it that bad". I said YES!!!!!!!!! So he said to me " I will make a phone call to my friend at Rolex and you will have a Daytona very soon".
