Incoming: ceramic Daytona

As a follow up to my other thread regarding my (only) 8 month wait, i picked up my Daytona this morning. I could've had my choice of color when i ordered, but i wanted black - classic look and is a perfect partner to my Mitsukoshi Speedmaster.

Such a beautiful piece. Hard to imagine anything else is my collection is going to be getting any wrist time in the near future...

As for policies, procedures, etc. My dealer basically handed me the watch in the plastic shipping container - untouched by anyone, even them. I could have walked right out and they wouldn't have cared.

However, I opened it up, took the stickers off and had them remove a link. They filled out the warranty card and activated it. No mention of any "directive" from Rolex to de-sticker, photocopy my ID and warranty card, etc. so ymmv on that.

Here is it:
