Congrats! How do you find the legibility, that seems to be the only complaint of the black dial.

superstarmar · 7 March 2020, 09:25 AM

Huge Congrats !!!
Kudos on your perseverance and getting it at an AD!
I Love the Black Daytona C ... Rock it well !!!

Closs1909 · 7 March 2020, 09:28 AM

Thanks all!

The story...I have a friend who works in the jewelry industry (but doesn’t sell watches), who deals with a lot of AD’s. Finally after a few years of me pleading (and seeing me strike out with 10+ random AD’s) he agreed to put a feeler out with an AD he knows well, and the AD couldn’t have been nicer. Said he’d love to help, and would get the watch inside a few months...fast forward 7 weeks, and it arrived :).

I owe this friend BIG TIME, and the jeweler also. He was phenomenal, and a really cool guy. He definitely just made a client for life!

sgwatchguy · 7 March 2020, 09:29 AM

Congratulations on landing the most desired watch on this planet. Wear it in great health.

I find the legibility to be good, not as clear as some other non-chrono watches I have, but more than adequate for a daily wearer/use. Not to mention it’s better looking that my other watches, so I’m more than happy to sacrifice a small bit of legibility for the added style and complication.

Thanks for sharing the story! Lots of folks put up incomings of this watch but never share how they got it. I’m obviously jealous but glad that you had the resources to get one.

Truth, being a little less legible means you get to spend more time enjoying looking at it!
