My Daytona 16520 is home after visiting Rikki!

I am enthralled to have it back and Rikki made it look new again! He told me it timed out to run 0.7 seconds fast per day in all six positions, and that's impressive indeed :)
Here is the well known unboxing and reveal show we all like
Due to nature of how the forum pictures upload feature works for my phone, I have to load individual pictures in reply format, so please bear with me

And some more. I sent pictures to exwife (we had a bet of what time it would be delivered and I won) and she said "it doesn't say Daytona on it though! " , so I had to do a closeup.

My ex has too much guilt riding her about how our marriage ended that she'd never think to take away anything from me. She even gave me back a datejust I gifted her and wants to remain friends, even with benefits, but I have to move on, and my Rolex collection is a great distraction, as well as work and travel
