Once in awhile, you have to go for the grail! 6265!

I don't usually like posting incomings....but once in awhile there are some very special watches for me. This is definitely it....my grail. I've been eyeing a 4 digit Daytona for around half a year now but haven't had the determination of pulling the trigger and have watched them crawl up in price...finally I decided it was time (when the right piece from the right dealer came up of course). Initially wanted a 6263 but the more I thought about it, the more I fancied the smaller wearing 6265 with my smaller wrist size and the sharp looking stainless bezel insert. Not to mention it's in my card to pick up the new WG Daytona someday on the Oysterflex....would be a close looking watch to a 6263. I knew I had to jump when this came up....Over the moon here, ready to look over things with my watchmaker on Monday but have the weekend to oogle instead. Thanks to everyone for the fine information/education throughout these times to make me comfortable enough to do this....it was a big buy for me:





Can't get rid of this stupid grin off my face all day.

Too kind guys, I usually don't like to share too many incomings because well...you guys have ridiculous nice pieces but once in awhile, something special comes my way too.

There are a lot of vintage guys lurking around here that have become friends to me. I'd like to thank all of them for their personal guidance and help in making this a reality. And of course the rest of the regular posters that are gracious enough to share their knowledge.

@ TheRolexKingofLV/Trace thanks my man, means a lot coming from one of the coolest Daytona collector I know. No major surprise....but all my next modern pieces I'm planning on are Daytonas hah.....they really do speak to me the most. Look forward to meeting next time and checking out watches together over some great wine!
