Hi and Intro from Oakland, CA

Hi,
Just a quick note to introduce myself to fellow forum members!

I've been a long-time single watch owner of a black dial Rolex Explorer II (Ref. 16570). Always appreciated that this was not neccessarily one of the more popular models, and for that reason stood out a bit. Anyways, fast-forward 17 years and I'm celebrating a significant-for-me life milestone, so decide to mix it up by getting a white dial watch to have a nice complement to my current watch. But which one... there are so many fantastic options!

Well, one thing led to another and before you know it I'm staring online at a beautiful white dial Zenith Daytona being offered for sale in Italy. Before proceeding with a deal, I reached out to several previous buyers who had dealt with this highly reputable seller. After hearing back with details of their transactions and enthusiastic endorsements of the seller, I felt confident enough to proceed.

Well, I received the Zenith Daytona yesterday, and it's just as advertised and in remarkable condition. I'll post pictures once I've hit enough posts to be granted privileges.

Glenn

Now that I've hit the requisite number of posts, thought I'd add pics of my watches. Here's my long-time daily watch, a Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570...

and my newest addition competing for wrist time, a Rolex Zenith Daytona Ref. 16520...
