It's arrived! Daytona 116509 black dial!

My grail watch has landed!!! Sorry to be so excited about it but it's my most expensive watch yet and for it is so special!
I wanted a chronograph to go into my collection and I got a Tudor Fast rider Blackshield but the moment I got it I regretted it. That started a thought process in my mind, I ended up giving up my 116622 blue along with the fastrider (plus cash) and ended up with imo one of the top if not the top chronograph watch!

Sorry about the crap quality photo!

Thank you all!
For me it's going to be hard to top this one! This is the best wrist shot I could do with an iPad.
