You have all seen this dial before, nothing new with a white dialed SS Daytona....

But this caseback is something that makes this one pretty special. The name of my 5 year old and one day it will go to him.

Thanks for looking guys, appreciate all the kind words on the other thread.

CONGRATS...and will be very special once your kid gets it....

onkyo · 7 February 2009, 12:49 PM

BIG congrats Daren!!!

Wonderful thing you have done for your son.

I can see it being a high school or college graduation gift ..... or even a wedding gift!

I like the sounds of wedding, and now I just hope he gets married at about 40.

MMB0210 · 7 February 2009, 01:09 PM

Congratulations, I looooove that watch!

Art 1 · 7 February 2009, 01:13 PM

Nice, congrats.

SLS · 7 February 2009, 01:15 PM

Very nice! I had mine engraved as well....though I did not have the foresight to put my son's initials, I put mine! Congrats!

Yume-sama · 7 February 2009, 01:16 PM

Looks great! Congratulations.

You don't want him to grow up too fast, but I bet you can't wait for the day you give it to him!

I actually have another watch with my own name on it. That was a gift from my old Head Pro when I got my own course. That one will go to him as well.

So, eventually he will have some nice staples in a collection.

Very nice Daren
Did not know you were Daytona fan
He will love it

Thanks bro, was never a fan till recently. I have actually turned down about 3 or 4 of these in the past. I just didn't want to buy to flip since it was from a close friend and AD. But last year I had a wild idea to buy one that I could love for a long time and then give to Lil D. So, I told my AD I wanted the next white dial one and less than a month later, she is on the wrist.

Ranfni · 7 February 2009, 01:32 PM

that's great! I'm going to do the same for my son w my sswfd

Very nice! Love the dial and bezel on that DJ. Two classic pieces, I am sure he will cherish those immensely.

Thanks Baldie.

Congrats! I'm sure your son will enjoy that nice daytona

Launch Mini · 7 February 2009, 01:56 PM

Sounds familiar Daren. I was on the fence for a long time.
I kept asking about them, but never really looked at one seriously.
Then , one time at the AD, asked if they had one, and they did. M & D were with me & they really liked it too, so it came home with me.
I think mine will be a keeper too.
Probably go to M one day too.

cars4life · 7 February 2009, 02:18 PM

Do you think this thread can be retrieved when the time comes you give your watch to your son? Well if it does... maybe he will be the last poster on this thread..Congratulations to you Daren..and to you Dylan...

HDHNTER · 7 February 2009, 02:46 PM

What's really wild to think about is your son likely wearing that same watch 70yrs from now after we're all (or at least most of us) long gone. Very cool man.

Lion · 7 February 2009, 02:55 PM

Very nice watch and a generous gift to your son that he can grow into with time. He's one lucky boy to have a thoughtful DAD!!!

Dalton · 7 February 2009, 02:56 PM

nice watch but where are the quick and dirty pics?

bodybump · 7 February 2009, 03:02 PM

That is so nice of you...im sure he will be so happy when he realized what kind of watch his getting....Daren lets just hope he dosent become a Rolex flipper...by that time he reaches the age 30 he will make money on this watch hahahaahah

LOL, I actually had a Panerai friend email me from the pics I posted on FaceBook and told me I should have waited till I took some decent pics, LOL! Thanks for the kind words. I will take some "proper" pics with the set up and other camera this weekend and post up.

Cheers,

atleast he already have something invested on him....this will be a rare hard to find piece by that time...maybe Rolex would have a Daytona that can be used as phone...like the LG Watch Phone hahahahah

Or by then the watches will all be either 55mm or back to 29mm, as the in sizes.

kokovovoru · 7 February 2009, 03:53 PM

Your son is lucky to have you as dad.

SirLoki · 7 February 2009, 04:08 PM

the engraving is awesome!!! really makes it one of a kind! did you leave the watch with an AD to do it or just remove the caseback ?

yannis · 7 February 2009, 05:54 PM
