Very nice. When are you picking it up?
But indulgent maybe, but feck it..
I'm looking forward to the photos. Will you be wearing it outside your home?
I didn’t get charged in the store it but I’d warned them months in advance the stock strap won’t fit and to please have the next size up in. They said they would then quoted 6 weeks when they forgot to order it. I didn’t want to wait so went to RSJ and paid. That’s how I still have two straps spare. Very annoying.
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.
Dunno about thatAll other watches are ignored and should be posted/lost in a watch talk thread.
That’s a beauty!
Remember seeing one in the ADs before the madness started and thinking “One day, …”!
Beauty! Congratulations
Lovely. One of a small number of Rolex that I look at and actually want.
Well done. Maybe you can do a bit of a write up on the similarities and differences? And sure would like to see some more photos.
For those wondering - they are not rubber straps - they are Oysterflex bracelets: metal blades encased in rubber so far more durable - they cost less than bits of leather charged out at £350 a pop.
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!
