Incoming!
Just ordered a new 116613LB today. I'm pretty pumped but just dreading the wait until it arrives on Tuesday. That being said, I have a question for my fellow TRFers. If you had to choose between a new Stainless Steel Daytona (white face) or a new two-tone Ceramic Submariner (blue face), which would you choose?

I obviously couldn't decide so I bought both!

I don't think you should choose. They are both beautiful and so different from one another that they compliment each other perfectly! Well done.

That's quite an incoming! If I had to choose I'd go with the TT Submariner but hey, if you can have both, why not!

Congratulations!
