Good afternoon Gents,

Fed Ex dropped this off a couple of hours ago. Another great transaction with DavidSW. Always a pleasure doing business with him.

Really debated on this last purchase. I was after a dress watch and a four digit Daytona as my next two watches. I miss having YG in my collection. I tried on a few dress watches over the last few months and nothing really sang to me. Most felt and looked too small on the wrist and the dress watches I really like are too expensive price wise for a watch I will only wear a few times a year. So moved off the dress watch. Also the four digit Daytona has priced itself out of my comfort zone.

So that moved me to a newer TT Daytona. A combination of enough dress for me, a touch of gold, the "right" size, but still sporty.

The next part of the debate was over whether to go for the five or six digit version. I really liked the solid TT bracelet abd upgraded clasp of the six digit, but also love the charm of the Zenith five digit...basically decided that I would grab whatever nice example showed up first from a seller I like.

In the end David had a very nice example of a U serial 16523. In all my years of collecting, this is only my second Daytona. I think it will serve my current needs perfectly. Thanks again David

Congrats! Very nice looking Daytona! I know all the fuss these days is about the ceramic bezel, but the metal bezel has it charms (and easier to read with level graduations). Wear it in good health. Cheers!
