Congrats on a great story and find! I spoke to Dhiren in this process. He was great and super professional—made it clear that some dude from the UK (apparently you!) was on the list ahead of me and he was trying to help a TRF member so really cool story of people looking out for other WIS!

This has to be the thread of the year so far! Well done to you both!

If I hadn't just come back from India I would have gone too !

Stunning!!! I used to crazy about the white dial but the black is starting to sing even louder as of late. So confused. Wear it in good health. Congrats

Congratulations on your great looking new DaytonaC! Wow, what a story and very nice of Dhiren to be so gracious in helping you out. Sounds like the AD is very good too. So you have the complete land, air and sea set now and can head out for any adventure! Wear them all in good health. Cheers!

How awesome! Definitely thread of the year!!! Wish other people around here were of the same mind and helped each other out this way instead of many people on other posts telling people to just buy some piece they passed on at their AD and sell it for profit. Great story! Also cheers to Dr. Tom who did something similar like this I think last year!

Awesome! A trip to India is incredible on its own, but to get to come home with that watch is just gravy on top! Congrats!

After a few days away from the watch now I’ve got some time to properly take the stickers off.... (yes I was surprised I resisted that long!)



Those who are interested - you get 14 stickers on the PCL, and 5 on the watch body itself (well at least that’s what I found on mine)

Wrist shot post stickers removal



And my trio for the very first time together (you can see which one hasn’t been worn for a while)
