Icon17 Meteorite Daytona - just bought it :)
Just picked up another Daytona. Discontinued white gold & meteorite dial. Mint condition as it has lived its life in a safe.

I picked the discontinued model as I far prefer it to the new ones:

- meteorite sub dials
- splash of colour, with the red hands
- full white gold bracelet
- metal bezel works better with the silvery dial
- discontinued

Yet, even with all that, it's actually cheaper than the new one!

Wow! OMG that's what I call a timepiece. I am a little envious, to be honest, it's stunning and I'm so pleased for you. I hope you get many, many years of enjoyment from it, wear it in good health.
