Incoming - Daytona 116515

Just picked up this beautiful Daytona. I have always loved the ceramic bezel and when it came out in the black dial this year I knew this was the one for me. The watch is just exquisite and the black into RG into black into RG colour combo is just visually devastating. As I have a few other full gold pieces I was happy to have this on the strap for a more dressier piece in my collection.

Many thanks Eric, my friend. I am really in thrall to it and it's mesmerising colours. Sadly the DD2 had to go to make way for it but I have the chocolate Nautilus now and once I held the Daytona in my hand I knew I had to own it.

What MSRP is Rolex charging on this Daytona ?

Most welcome, my friend. Love the colour combo and obviously your amazing pictures of it. It is too bad the DD2 had to go, that was a beauty too, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Also, makes sense as you say because you have the RG Nautilus now. In any event, your collection is amazing.

If I still had my Daytona, I would be wearing it today in honour of your beautiful incoming!
