Got the call! Lost my Virginity lol

Hello everyone.

It’s official my Daytona Cherry has been popped!!! I’m no longer a Daytona Virgin lol

So I got the call on a this banger! “126519LN” My SA and AD really came through for my Birthday, it's a milestone for me at the big 55.

I was so excited when I tried it on, the dial makes such a huge difference with the Diamond hour markers, they add such depth and contrast to the dial. The oyster flex strap is very comfortable to wear and the weight of the white gold makes the watch feel expensive. I have tried on the 11 series before the 12 came out and recently tried on the new yellow gold Daytona there at the AD and really liked the new 12 versions surround on the bezel. I actually felt that it has a cleaner finished look than the 11 version. Also the oyster flex for me is more sporty and is it me or does the Daytona feel like it wears larger with the oyster flex than on the bracelet????

Best Bday gift ever! To myself

Congratulations! I own the exact same watch. Some will be less then supportive on the diamond dial and while I to will admit I'm not a big fan of diamonds especially on sport watches myself I think it looks Amazing and looks great on this specific watch which is why I bought one myself

Congrats, beautiful watch. But what's with the repeated references to "virginity". Maybe there's something there?
