Couldn't be happier!!!
New watch received!
There are many who have this watch and a lot better pics out there, however, this one is mine! Patiently waited over 2 years for this beauty. My AD was kind enough to put me on a list and keep me updated. I'm not a huge spender but have become friends with my AD over the last 20 years of buying watches from him. My initial take was that the watch seemed small, but after some time on the wrist, it feels well balanced and "just right." Of all my watches, the hope is that one day this will go to my daughter. She's 12 now, so won't be for awhile. Thank you all for letting me share. Wishing everyone a wonderful 2022 and hoping everyone stays safe and healthy. |

Wow, what a very nice surprise from your AD. A huge congrats! Getting in before the price hike too is a biggie, and a very nice additional "gift". Enjoy that beautiful Daytona! I'm sure your daughter will be very honored when you hand this down to her one day. Happy New Year!....You really closed out 2021 with a bang.

Get her started sooner than later with a cheaper mechanical watch. This being said from a female enthusiast whose 19 y.o. daughter uses only her phone and is afraid to wear my sub $400 watches.

As for my daughter, I try to teach her about watches, the parts, interesting facts. If she ever wears the watch, I'm thinking it will be because it was her Father's watch and because it meant so much to me, not because it is an automatic or even because it is a Rolex. But still holding out hope she will fall in love with watches the way we TRF folks have. |

Oh, wow! Congratulations on your great looking Daytona! I'm always happy when good people get their dream watch after waiting patiently. Your Daughter will be very happy when it's passed on to her and will be a family heirloom for many years. Cheers!
