Wow. Mic drop. More pics! Did this come from an AD or grey? My AD had one, I was told no way, unless I want to spend $1M. Lol

AWESOME. This is in fact the only Daytona I like. (Unpopular opinion: I don't like Daytonas...)

I didn't think I would be that impressed, since I lean more towards the GMT's. Well, consider me impressed. That is truly gorgeous. Congratulations.

No way only 100. They made a lot of them, we still don't know if it is actually discontinued as it may be an off catalogue reference like the Le Mans YG. Congrats OP it's a beautiful watch.

Any AD who got one will at least keep one for himself before giving one to a customer. If this reference is really discontinued the owner will be crazy to sell it to you. I saw three ADs owners in W&W this year wearing one.

OP has been here 11 years now and only 164 posts, so he may be awhile getting back to us on the dynamics of his purchase

True

It would be nice to know a little bit more of the backstory. Perhaps he’s not comfortable spilling the beans
