Contrasts perfectly with your platinum Daytona. Everyone needs a stainless steel in their collection. I love it.

A nice addition to your existing Daytona. SS Daytonas are definitely a classic watch to own.

Well done, Tom! Enjoy. The white looks totally at home next to the Platona.... When the watch is that awesome, who cares what the metal is??

And as some of you do know me and know the usual direction of my SS watches (ask my sons), full disclosure, I bought this with the thought of after our next Daytona race, win or loose, I surprise my son at the end of the day, thank him for being my crew chief and presenting the watch to him in the pits at Daytona!!

Well that is my thought, and the Daytona race isn't until October, so I will lightly wear it, make a few memories then off it will go to my son, so we can have even more great father son times!! (Yeah, he is a great kid and my best friend!) corny but true!!
Hey Tom,

Huge congratulations on your latest purchase

I must admit when I first saw your thread I kind of agreed with your wife, that is until I got to this post then I got it!!

It's a lovely gesture and you're very lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with your son.

My wife is due to give birth to our first child next week so this post has made me very happy. I look forward to meeting my new best buddy

I look forward to your next Daytona thread lots and lots of pics please !

Once again, huge congrats on your latest acquisition. It's a stunner for sure!

Have a great day.

The best gifts are those that are are just that, not for for given occasion, just simply to show our love and appreciation. Tom you are a true gentleman.
May both of you wear it in good health.
Cheers
