My latest pickup!

Someone ordered this a few months ago and turned it down when it came in. It was offered to me and I didn’t think I’d like it but when I saw it in person, I kind of fell in love and ended up walking out with it.

Whoa! I don’t blame you for picking it up. Gorgeous

That’s the new 12 right?

That’s gorgeous! See what happens when people don’t hoard them and leave them behind if they don’t like them! Awesome

Very nice! Congratulations! The gold subdials really pop against the black dial. Normally I'm not a fan of diamonds, but they do really look good here! Enjoy that beauty.

The diamonds were the reason I was hesitant. He sent me a picture from the website and it looked a little too much for a sports watch, but it was pretty subtle in person.

I wasn’t a fan of the pictures on the site but in person it was subtle enough.

Thanks and happy new year to you!

I always thought the black dial with diamonds was one of the nicest Daytona dials.

Congrats! Same thing happened to me in May this year. Went to get service on my IWC, asked if they had anything, SA looked at the manager and she nodded… came out with this beauty… only complaint I have after wearing for 6 months is that the two tone diamond dial is very flashy, not for all occasions unless you live in Miami;)
