Incoming.. welcome home

Just sold my no date sub and bb58 and got my self my first daytona 116520. I think i got lucky with this one cause i was able to find one full set. I believe i did good with price also. take my hands and eyes of this gorgeouswatch!

Now what should i do first with this 10 year old watch?
It is advisable to have serviced? I dont want to risk wetting it yet..

Thanks guys!

Great pickup & collection

If service history unknown i’d Say a service is due but wear it for a few months first to enjoy the watch

Wear it and enjoy the watch. It’s gorgeous. No need to rush for a service unless it’s doing anything suspicious.

Congratulations! Makes for an excellent collection. I agree - wear the watch and see if there is anything that would warrant a service.

Congratulations. I would sit tight for a minute and see how it is running and any issues you may discover with a few weeks of wear. You can get it pressure tested without a service.
