Daytona for Christmas

Hi everyone!

After a year waiting and many trips to my AD, I finally got the call and managed to get my hands on the watch that will close my collection (until next year, that is 1 week from now). The call happened while I was out in Australia on a business trip for 3 months. I knew something like this would happen!. I was fortunate enough as a good friend of mine offered to collect it and keep it in his home until I returned.

It´s a magnificent piece and it's been without question the hardest to find so far.

Enjoy the pictures. Happy Christmas and new year!.
