Latest addition to the collection
I finally acquired a black Daytona C. I can’t stop staring at it, and it’s hard to wipe the smile from my face. I’ve lusted after this watch since it was very first announced at Baselworld 2016.

Congrats! It is a beautiful watch.

I just recently got my white dial after 4 years on a waitlist, and my other watches are getting a little jealous because I can't stop wearing it.

Very nice. I have been drawn to the contrast of the white and black but I gotta say the all black is amazing!

Grey. I expressed interest with a local AD the day after the Basel announce. On a subsequent visit, I was told by the very honest sales person that it would be very unlikely I would ever get one. Most of my watch purchases are vintage (only bought one new Rolex in the past 5 years), so I don’t get any love from the AD.

AD’s are in a major bull market - most likely won’t last much longer - but good call on the Daytona!
It’s a beauty, enjoy it, wear it well, and please insure it!!!

The black is just a stunner on the wrist.
Much more so than the white.

Congratulations. Great looking watch. I am waiting on black dial, but maybe like my 116520 days where I can only get white dial...

Congrats on that beautiful Daytona.

You can’t go wrong with either dial. The black appears more formal to me, but can be worn with any attire. Just two different watches.

I hope you wear that beauty in good health for a long time.
