New Daytona

I just picked my new Daytona. Its a replacement for the previous model that I gave myself as a gift for my 40th birthday. I lost that one in an ugly divorce (we almost went to court over everything because my ex insisted on having the watch. I figured it would be cheaper to just buy a new one).
Despite the watches being almost identical, the black bezel makes this one look a lot better in my opinion. Its reminiscent of the original from the 1960's. Its definitely my favorite watch and one I will keep forever.

Fantastic watch!

Sorry to hear about your divorce. I hope you ended up with a settlement agreement that you are OK with. (I recently went through a divorce too.)

Love my E series Zenith, but the ceramic bezel does look good. Maybe my next one with a black face...
