Incoming! A new one ... and a departure for me.
I have never been a two-tone kind of guy. I have owned nearly every Rolex sports model over the years but always in stainless steel. I have even had Daytona's previously ... even they were a black and then white-dialed SS version. I saw a picture of a slate-dialed TT Daytona that has been haunting me ever since. Late last week I took the plunge on a M-serial 116523 and had to wait over the three-day weekend for delivery (painful!). So much for the fore-play, on to the unboxing photos!

I always thought the white face 116523 was the best looking TT Daytona.
Now I think we have a new winner.

Do you know what Wally? I'm not into two tone's at all & not sure if you are a superlative photographer, but that is a very, very tasty Daytona.
Wear it in the best of health
