Thank you! I was originally going to go with the Datejust II white gold black dial. But then the AD brought out this baby and I fell in love with it at first sight. It was a huge price difference though..

edit - does anyone have any tips on leather maintenance? I ponder if I ever spontaneously go to a pool or a beach and I happen to be wearing the watch, how would that work out.

Hi Kcheng, welcome and congrats. Great choice! The Daytona on strap is my grail! Awesome watch! I can see that you've asked a couple of questions that haven't yet been answered. The leather strap will be fine to get wet but will need to be dried off afterwards. Of course being leather it won't last forever so I would be careful with your usage in water.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated! I recieved it as a gift from my dad. Hopefully I will get to pass it on to someone else I love some day.
