Default My first Daytona
I've finally received the watch I ordered for my birthday as a gift for myself



I'm in love with it. I'm not a big fan of Rolex but this one is spectacular. I understand why it is so hard to find and I was lucky to get one brand new in retail.

I now have the two I prefer in the range (the Daytona and the Milgaus).

Looks great Georges, I like it a lot. Is it black or dark blue?

Thank you Simon, it's a black dial. I had the choice with the white one but I preferred this model

Congratulations on your new Daytona. The steel Daytona is by far the most difficult Rolex to buy new. I have the exact same watch and love it. It is timeless and will give you a lifetime of enjoyment. Good choice!

When my dad called me to say he find one new, I didn't hesitate to tell him to buy it for me. You're not often lucky to have one available like that !

A beautiful watch and (maybe) the top Daytona.
