"Pre" Coming
I've long lusted after a 6238 Pre-Daytona and one now adorns my wrist! I had the movement serviced at RSC SF right after I bought it so this last week has been my first opportunity to wear it. I couldn't be happier. I hope y'all enjoy the pics

I read the thread title and thought this post was about something else entirely... thankfully it isn't, lol.

Stunning watch, congratulations! Looking for one myself :)

In hindsight agreed! I would edit it but too late. One of those "seemed like a funny idea at the time" moments!
