Incoming: Turned 40 ready for gold, OF Daytona (My last Rolex)

As i Turned 40, I figured that I am ready for a little touch of gold (I tend to avoid gold watches) - so called the boutique around feb telling them I would love to have one for my birthday, they fulfilled it a month after my birthday.

Very greatful to Takashimaya Japan for always giving me one special piece a year.

I think this is probably going to be my rolex (famous last words lol)

Sorry got to blurred the serial numbers on photos.

High 5 mate - I also just turned 40 a few weeks ago and celebrated with royal oak chrono. Just wondering if you had purchase history with that boutique, I see you have several nice rollies there

Happy birthday! And congrats on the new Daytona. I’ve been on my AD’s “registry” for that reference/model for a few months now, anxiously awaiting its eventual arrival. Love it!
