Hi All

After going back and forward on dial colour I decided to go with black. I have to say I'm delighted with it and think that even though there are only a few changes it represents a big upgrade over the previous generation. Also IMHO it wears larger than the SS bezel black dial, which is a good thing for me as I always found my old Daytona a little too small looking on my wrist :thumbs:

I took this shot of my new Daytona sat in its home made storage case. It's one of those storage clip boxes with some foam pipe lagging. I keep all my watches in them and it makes it easy to stack them for storage!

Congrats it looks fantastic!

sensui · 25 July 2016, 05:21 AM

JapRs · 25 July 2016, 05:24 AM

Here is a better view of the boxes. They make a pretty convenient solution for storage

status.six · 25 July 2016, 06:17 AM

The manufacturer is sistema. I'm using their 400ml boxes which are an ideal size for a watch...

status.six · 25 July 2016, 06:18 AM

Thanks for the congratulations everybody

Robrob777 · 25 July 2016, 06:29 AM

The best Daytona so far. But it still looks very small compared to the rest in ur collection, why don't sell everything and be a 1 Watch man. Blnr or subln will do.

tylerad1 · 25 July 2016, 06:32 AM

That's one hell of a collection! Very nice!

This thread is for congratulating the OP on the acquisition of a new watch...not offering unsolicited advice about liquidating most of his collection.

OP: Congrats, beautiful piece...enjoy it in the best of health.

Jacobson · 25 July 2016, 08:32 AM

where did you source the watch if you don't mind me asking?

& great idea using those food tubs
