New RG Chocolate dial Daytona!

Hey TRF! I got this as a Xmas present for my Dad the other day. He has been talking about it for around a month now so I went to our local AD on Monday and they had one in the case, told them to box it and here we are :) I can't wait to see his face when he opens this up! He has been eyeing Daytonas since I can remember. My pictures do not do this piece any justice, it is stunning in person.

Now that's what you call a present

Nothing quite like that feeling when you see the recipient's face beaming with joy
