Very nice. When are you picking it up?
I'm looking forward to the photos. Will you be wearing it outside your home?
Probably tomorrow. Hopeful I don’t need a longer strap as too much faff.Quote:

Worst case RSJ will have them but I think it’s £240 per side. That’s what I had to pay for being impatient with the YM42.Quote:

This is from August when I saw it and ordered one.
I can see why you ordered that one. Big lump of cash, but boy does that look amazing. Congratulations.
My mistake I know realise "got the call today" is code for buying an expensive Rolex.
All other watches are ignored and should be posted/lost in a watch talk thread.
Really nice real world shot.
Did you notice any size difference between the new and the old when you tried them on? Wondering if the new bezel beefs it out a bit.
Of course, every Rolex needs it’s own thread.Quote:

Remember seeing one in the ADs before the madness started and thinking “One day, …”!
Thanks for the comparison shot. Lovely watch.Quote:

Lovely. One of a small number of Rolex that I look at and actually want.
Very nice the dial colour is lovely.Quote:

Joe - my OCD is in overdrive - the crown is pulled out and maybe the pushers not screwed down. You are killing me.

Congrats! One of the first new daytona models. Haven't seen one in person yet, how does the ring around the bezel feel?
Lovely watch, I just picked up a 36mm explorer from the AD and put my name down for the same watch. The salesperson think I should get it in about 9 months all being well.
The oysterflex and white gold make it quite under the radar in my view - all relative of course!
I promise it was only out whilst I was setting the time.Quote:

It could be the contrast but it looks good alongside the white face.

The strap on the RG is longer than the WG version.
It's not a "ring around the bezel". It is the bezel.Quote:
