Very nice Blue Bull! Makes up for you not being a fan of the Blacks! LOL

So you did sleep on it for one night.
What made you decide to go ahead with it on that short notice?

Hi Clive,nice to hear from you.Back in the land of the Taipan,or still roaming the world ?

Actually,the Panerai bug bit me.There was a nice PAM 183 "Black Seal",preowned at a fair price,that I intended to buy.
A week ago I casually mentioned,to a few ADs ,that I want a white Daytona.One week later,he phones and says 'Your watch arrives on Friday' Thats today.Now what ?? A week waiting period is exceptional .. ...To make matters worse,the Panerai AD phoned Thursday.He has a new PAM 104 for me .... Thats how it goes.Sometimes luck can smile too much.I took the right decision and got the Daytona.

You got me Chris. When I saw your title I literally said to myself, "NO WAY!"

Great watch. If I could pick up a new one at list I would do it in a second. However, my second choice is a TT on the grey market.
