Icon20 Finally! 11 months after placing the order!

Friday of Baselworld 2016 I went ahead and ordered the 116500ln. This after waiting for this watch to be released since the ceramic platona was announced.

Some pictures(NATO straps tried on for the fun of it. It's back on its bracelet and will stay there for now)

Congrats, I agree, keep the bracelet. The daytona cannot have any other strap (IMHO of course).

Hey, we are all different, if you like the Nato for me, it is the bracelet.

Great pics by the way!!

Same for me, except I still have "troubles" with the fact you've got to unscrew the pushers (maybe someone knows if there's any advantage to it?). That being said, it's a superb watch!
