Incoming - nice change of pace

I have always admired watches on oysterflex but never really got a chance to see for myself what the fuss was about, as the blades that come with the watch are too small for me (8" wrist).

Last year when I was talking to the AD about possible watches, he told me that he keeps all sizes in stock and we could find the right fit should one come in.

The AD called me last week to see if I'd be interested in a white gold black dial Daytona. Put it on and it fit like a glove--now I get it! It will take me awhile to adjust to it not being on a bracelet but it's still plenty heavy being PM.

Love the updates on the Daytona and the glidelock on oysterflex is a game changer!

That is one of the sexiest watches I’ve seen; nice work!

My favorite WG on OF Daytona has always been the steel dial with the black subdials. This one is making me rethink that! This is beautiful! A big congrats.
