This is what I end up buying, thank you for the advice !
As some of you know I was recently considering to purchase white dial Rolex and was considering either Explorer 2 42mm or SS Daytona.
Well my AD called me yesterday, they received both Daytonas with white & black dial.

After I tried all of them including Explorer2, there were no doubts in my mind. I fell in love , similar to when I bought my first Rolex Sub LV back in 2008.
So thanks guys for all your advice and inputs, this is a great community.









And since I had the opportunity, I had to try this baby as well.
It suprised me, it's a really heavy Daytona but looks great in person.

Nice pair of Daytonas!
I think that "platty", as JJ used to say, looks magnificent.

Did they give you a discount? Or did you end up paying the $75,000 plus tax?
