It's Almost Here. Daytona Paid For. Ready to Collect Soon.
Per my prior post I've snagged a rose gold Daytona and collect it on the way out to Fiji to avoid duty (legal btw), so happily 15% off upfront.

I went and got it sized today and paid for it. Here's a few rough camera phone pix.

Camera phone pictures - that I take - are always awful and for some reason the rose gold always looks quite washed out, whereas its actually quite pink, well I think very pink. When I got my Day Date I was quite amazed at how pink it is compared to a two-tone setting such as on my Rootbeer.

I begged 'em to leave the sticker on the clasp, but they wouldn't.

Can't wait to get this.

Thanks mate. These things seem easier to get over here than back in Pomgolia from wence I came some 23 years ago. Being able to hop over the ditch to save 15% has been a plus too.

Congrats, that looks bigger than the usual Daytona, more like it wears a proper 40mm.

Id say it wears very close to my 40mm YM but not as large as my bluesy
