Just stumbled onto this forum on Friday afternoon. I got to say, what a great bunch of people I've seen post so far.
Just bought my first Rolex last week - a new Z white Daytona. After years of owning Panerai's, Breitling's, Breguet's and Parmigiani, this has been a real treat to obtain. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on my Daytona just a few days ago. I always joked with my AD, if you ever get one in, I'll be here in 10 mins. Well - I was there in about 5 and now a very happy owner of my first Rolex and now, a new addiction.
I look forward to reading more and contributing.
thx

Tellog · 5 June 2007, 08:57 AM

Hardly take my eyes of this. It's Gorgeous!

Rubenonfire · 5 June 2007, 08:59 AM

You're right...those white-face Daytona's are BEAUTIFUL. I'm not really into chronos, but if I had one that would be it. Do you leave the stopwatch running all the time?

Lol-x · 5 June 2007, 09:15 AM

Welcome and thanks for the photos. The Daytona is hard to find in authorised dealers, and it has a great chronograph movement. You will be very happy with that Rollie

jamesthejeweller · 5 June 2007, 09:27 AM

Mate thats Sick! (sick meaning good for all you non-Brits!) i love Daytona's, ive never had the pleasure to feel one but they look nice and hefty! hope you enjoy it!

JJ Irani · 5 June 2007, 09:44 AM

Welcome to TRF, Tellog. That's a superb looking watch....and to get one from one's own AD....now that's a bonus!!

Cheers - JJ

Tellog · 5 June 2007, 10:00 AM

Welcome to TRF you lucky man. I'm on two lists for a SS Daytona and I think I'll die of old age before I get to the top.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Great looking Daytona Tellog! I also have a Daytona, but its Stainless Steel with a black face. Great choice! I'm actually selling mine, as I just moved from South Africa to New Zealand. My father gave it to me for my 21st.

Welcome to TRF, Scooby. Where in NZ are you located? I hope you're not in Auckland where you might get infected with JJitis.
