OK Ladies and Gent's, I got the white dial SS Daytona today around 11:45am. I unpacked it and took it out of the box and immediately put it on. What can I say, it was simply divine. I was right in the middle of taking some pic's and my phone rings. HMMMM! Do I answer it?

I figure what the heck, might as well, although I WAS being interrupted by it. So I answer and it's a gentleman from an AD that I had spoke to about a week ago about a SS Daytona. So all the while I'm thinking what a dejavu this is turning into. Could this be happening again? As it turns out, he has a black dial SS Daytona he just got in and wants to know if I'm still interested in it. (Dejavu confirmed) So I told him Hell yes, and I jumped in the car and went and picked it up. ($7,900 / No Tax) Today was like hitting the jackpot and I still can't believe it happened. I've pinched myself quite a few times throughout the day to make sure I'm not just dreaming.

So here are the pic's I have so far. Please excuse the dust and lint! I didn't have time to properly polish them up before the shoot.

Gaijin · 20 February 2008, 04:02 PM

Congratulations!! What are the chances!? Astronomical!

Where the heck are you finding these ADs and why dont they have bunches of people trying to get them!!?

I am guessing that one of these will be for sale soon?

Nice score right before the price increase!

Wolfgang427 · 20 February 2008, 04:19 PM

Wow, congrats on your double score.

Andad · 20 February 2008, 04:25 PM

HaHa - love that pair.

badsmac · 20 February 2008, 04:34 PM

WOW!

Very nice. It's great that you could score two in one day.
Thanks for posting pics.

JJ Irani · 20 February 2008, 04:36 PM

Well done, my friend.....congrats on acquiring the world's best chronograph!!

cmr · 20 February 2008, 04:49 PM

i am jealous to say the least. i can't buy beg borrow or steel one of these and you land two of them in one day! congratulations!!

jasonbellevue · 20 February 2008, 04:59 PM

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! CONGRATULATIONS on the AWESOME TWOSOME FELLY!

YOU DA MAN BRO!

Felly Jr. · 20 February 2008, 05:21 PM

It was a once in a lifetime score, that's for sure! Here's a couple more pic's. I'll try to get some more taken in some better light.

I definitely like the white dial a lot better than the black, and so does the better half.

crimscrem · 21 February 2008, 01:05 AM

You know, I have always been of the mind that the white face was much nicer than the black face. Now I'm not too sure. The black face looks equally amazing now that I see them side by side. I would still rather have the white one since I have the GMT-IIc, but boy, they both look equally nice.

NO NO! Buy ME a lottery ticket! You pick the numbers and mail it. I'll send ya a check

Big congrats on the double-whammy! An exceptional score, they look GREAT! Plus, it solves the issue of wanting white or black, too. Wonderful!

SPACE-DWELLER · 20 February 2008, 10:35 PM

I am not really impressed!

I have a MUCH rarer one. The ultra-rare "Zenith"/Rolex in-house black/white Daytona:

(Pic from my Photobucket).

So THERE!

Congrats, my friend! You must be very happy!

Bo, which AD do I need to call to pick up one of those "Zen-ex Yin/Yang DT's"? I'm SURE the only thing that stands between me and one of those beauties is just a few phone calls!

crimscrem · 21 February 2008, 12:47 AM

Wow. All I can saw is wow. Great looking watches. Unbelievable luck in getting not one, but two from ADs.
