Another incoming 116500.....

..... I got super lucky. I ordered a black dial Daytona, and paid 50% down like the AD asked and was placed at the top of the wait list (ergo, it was ordered as a pre sold watch) ..... and was expecting it to take around 3-6 months. Instead I got it in 2 weeks.
After getting the white dial and appreciating the white and black dial contrast, I think I may like the black dial better.

Wow, nice! Congrats!

I take it your white dial came from the same AD?

I'm seeing a lot of love for the black dial from those who have both.

Wow ...
You got white & black DaytonaC from same AD and only 50% down.

I offered my AD I'll pay in full for a white Daytone C.
I told him he can keep my box and warranty card for 3 years... just to prove I am not a reseller.
And I'll also kick him back $5k cash ... my AD rep still said no.

I have no words.
