Wow! The SS Daytona with white dial face is a real beauty. BUT, the all gold, green dial face GMT Anniversary Edition is quite a stunner to behold!

Well it certainly would not be any of the modern day Rolex although I might be tempted by the new Anniversary GMT in SS.

The TT version comes ONLY with a BLACK dial.

If you want the GREEN one, you'll have to go for the all gold version.

If money was no object, it would be the Platinum DD.

My Sea-Dweller with this blacked out treatment, case, steel bracelet & all. I've already e-mailed them asking if it can be done. Anyone know them/had dealings with them? If that cheesy background picture is any indication...LOL.
