Over the moon!!!

I am such a happy chappy so thought I would post something.

My lovely wife gave me the thumbs up for a SS 116520 Daytona. This on top of the BLNR I bought in April. So today I found a like new 2016 white dial, full package with all stickers in tact. Based on my local currency conversion it works out to around US$9700. I think this is a reasonable price given the condition of the watch. I thought about the new ceramic Daytona's but figured I would be waiting a very very long time for one. Very difficult to come across one in the country I am in.

I can't wait to pick it up and post some pictures.

Your new 116520 Daytona w/ the white dial should be centered, imo... either way you have a beautiful collection... Congrats
