Some of you may read of my piece of good fortune obtaining a Daytona thanks to the very kind efforts of Paul giving up an opportunity to purchase the watch himself

Just to assure everyone the watch is used and has not been flipped

I have included my sea dweller as well, big question now what shall I aim for next

Thanks again Paul

hmmmm,,, I would say wait for basel 2009!

dimpkins · 23 October 2008, 05:46 PM

good idea, need time to build funds up again, which is not easy in this economic climate

Congrats on the Daytona. One for the sea and one for the road. That's a great combo. Enjoy it for many years to come.

dubeagle · 23 October 2008, 08:40 PM

Nice.

I'm getting to like the black dial more and more every day.

magnet_UK · 23 October 2008, 08:56 PM

Superb!! A nice GMT would slot in there nicely

How about something other than Rolex to diversify your collection?

I would suggest a speedy pro. Great watch at a great price.

Good start... there's also the limited edition 'Alaska Project' white strap Speedy Pro to consider.

sambone274 · 24 October 2008, 05:45 AM

Congrats! Does it have the new GMT clasp?

dimpkins · 24 October 2008, 06:02 AM

Thanks for the kind comments, got to admit have worn it non stop and it feels right on my wrist, love the Speedmaster must try and see one in the flesh, oh and save a few coins for any potential purchase.

The Daytona has the old style clasp which is fine by me, just to get it made my day, maybe if I follow Pauls advice and get a white face I will get the new style then.

In Watches of Swiss Birmingham they have a TT sub with blue face and a TT GMT that have me thinking, difficult not to get greedy!!

DAVIDSW · 24 October 2008, 06:28 AM

Great shot....

Z-Sub · 24 October 2008, 08:04 AM

Mix the collection a bit with a white dialed watch.

Porsche · 24 October 2008, 10:14 AM

Hey Paul

BIG congrats, great pair, but I say stick with BLACK face, keep them all matching...

you have SEA
you have LAND
I think you need AIR next, so a nice GMT... lots to choose from, old, new, or in between...

topcat30093 · 24 October 2008, 10:37 AM

Congrats
Enjoy wearing it.
