Pair of Daytonas
This one is special. I’m excited to have the opportunity to own this one. The Steel dial is new. The white dial was a 10th anniversary gift in 2019 from my wife with an assist from my good friend and great AD Phil. I remember seeing it for the first time in 2017 and thinking people were crazy to spend that kind of money on a watch but this hobby has grown in to a passion. I appreciate all of you that have shared your interests and knowledge. I also enjoyed getting to know some of you at meet ups. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday season. Signature line updated.

That was shot using a Nikon with 24-70mm 2.8 lens but since then I have moved on to a Leica Q2. Below ones are using the Leica. It is more about lighting the subject and avoiding unwanted reflections.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Owning two Daytona's *hats off in respect*

The 116529LN is special and my favourite Daytona in the line-up.

Stunning photography above also.

Amazing pieces, and these are all great pics! Thanks for sharing... would love to own a 116519LN! I'm on the waitlist for that at my AD, but who knows when (or if) that's ever going to happen

Love them both, but I give the nod to pm on of, bc no pcls, more wrist presence, and slightly larger lugs. The downside to of is making sure u get the perfect size. My ad was awesome when sizing though. I also prefer ceramic bezels for aesthetics/contrast and scratch resistance. Congrats again to op on a great pair.
