Got the call - Daytona - WOS UK

I had bought a YG Panthere de Cartier for the wife back in January and decided to put my name down for a YG Daytona with black dial and diamonds.

Today I received a call to say that it is ready to collect which I am planning to do tomorrow. I cannot believe that after only 4 months one was made available, as I was expecting at least a 2 year wait.

However, I am very happy that I will have it tomorrow!

Congratulations! You would have had it the same month you bought the Cartier if you spent another 100k.

Congratulations. A real steal! I think a lot of people have declined the old model after the W&W new model announcement. Great news for the rest of us.....!

Shocking - as soon as someone spends $26k+ on a small ladies quartz (!!) watch, suddenly a Daytona opens up. Not the most highly sought after model, but still 2 months is impressive.

I am seriously over the AD list games and moving up the chain priorities.

That said : OP congrats! It's a great watch and seeing your wife is happy and you got one, it's a win-win!

amazing how it looks! much better than the stock photo on the website and im sure even much nicer in person

i was choosing between this and the champ dial for mine and was having a really tough time deciding

a yg daytona is truly special, i have mine for more than a month and the feeling still has not gone away

I was also very sceptical when I realised what the update to this model would be. Apart from the numbers in the dial, the dial itself in the updated version is not as black, but more grey black which for me does not sound as appealing.

I am glad I got this version as this is what I was looking for
