Totally Different Direction

I was looking at the new Daytona and thought to myself "I could get a ROC for that kind of money", so I did! Found a solid deal and pulled the trigger. I still love my vintage Rolex stuff but I would take this any day over the new Daytona.

Special "shout out" to Roy7 for answering some questions about his panda in a different thread.

Thanks for looking and have a great day-I sure am.

David

Bam! Looks great.

Yeah, white dial Daytona C is now over $21k. Just plain dumb imo. You are knocking on the door of full PM at that price. Or a great AP piece like this.

Motion In Time in NY. Came with B/P's and still had the stickers. I also spoke with Essential Watches in CA, I think they can still lay hands on one.

I still want one, was looking for one a while back and ended up buying something else when I couldn't find one in a new set. May start poking around again or get a carbon or ceramic diver, not sure.
