Time to wear my SS Daytona tomorrow!

Finally, I have EIGHT days off from work!

So tomorrow I will "unwrap" my SS Daytona from all its plastic covers and put it on my wrist!

I will have a dry Martini cocktail ("Brandy shaken", of course ) or two (three, even?!) to celebrate the event, and I will think of all you GREAT guys here when I sippng my dry Martini Cocktail(-s)!

Im with you there. Id probably leave the plastic covers on for a while to and not remove it right away.

Nice to hear you have 8 days off work. Time to go and enjoy your new Daytona and SD. Not that you already do of course.

Be careful or your polished center links may end up looking like this. The good thing is it all looks like it is brushed SS after a while.
