I tried it on...and it was incredible.

I’ve never owned a Daytona before; I’ve always been into my YMs, Submariners, and GMTs. We had already signed the paperwork for the YM, but after trying on the white gold Daytona, I asked the dealer to cancel the original paperwork and instead bring me the box and papers for the Daytona.

What a watch! I’m so excited to wear it as my 40th birthday gift to myself!

I think you made a great "clutch" decision for your birthday. I've had multiple Daytonas and a couple of YMs.

The Daytonas are more memorable for me. Wear it in good health and a long time.

It is pretty, indeed. I'd purchase it if They wouldn't have the Daytona in stock that day! Maybe as a +1 to collection in the future tho, it's a very cool watch indeed

All I ended up with was a pasty and a coke.
Some people have all the luck.
