Shock incoming!!

It was an ordinary afternoon just before my AD called me. They let me know that the watch I always dream about has arrived, it’s the daytona stainless steel. I was in shocked for a min before gathering myself and quickly drove to the shop to collected it. And here they are the 116500 LN panda.

The watch in person is so sporty and elegant. The watch balances so well between the black bezel and the white dial. I specially requested for the white dial because it just look so stand out compare to the black version. I was so happy to the moon. To be honest still feel like a dream that I was able to archived this time piece. Special Thanks to my wonderful AD that always work hard and treat me like family all the time.

Congrats. Would love to get my hands on one of these someday but I’m not a high roller by any means so probably never happening.

Congratulations. It's a looker. Apparently they're quite difficult to obtain from ADs.

I love the intro of how it all happened. “I was an ordinary afternoon......and then it happened”. Lol.

Huge congrats, a very special piece.
