Thought about matching your beautiful 1675 but that's a little further down the roadmap for me... so no for now :-P

Congrats Yazo.

The Daytona wasn't really something I would want to wear daily either, good grab with the vintage Sub.

You've already had this one long enough, what's the next one going to be???
