THE call....Cosmograph Daytona Ceramic 116500LN

I finally got THE call yesterday to pick up my Cosmograph Daytona Ceramic 116500LN!!!

My initial thoughts? STUNNING!! It definitely lives up to the hype. I remember trying it on during the Rolex Basel road show last May and the white dial is as perfect as I remember it!

Will provide a more robust review and additional pictures in the coming days/weeks after I have had a chance to test this timepiece out. Here are a few quick snaps:

Thank you! It was definitely long enough of a wait! Hahahaha
I did not expect the call until sometime in May-July time frame but I'm not going to turn it down, of course!

I'm still adjusting to life with my 8 week old SD4K but look forward to slotting the Daytona into my watch rotation.
