Welcome and what a nice piece. Glad you found our hang out.

BTW, for folks like us who don't have huge monitors, kindly resize your photo to around 800x600 size :-) Cheers!

Welcome to TRF, welcome to the brotherhood of married men, and welcome to the land of Daytona owners! Can't do too much better on ANY of those fronts!

.. and it goes to prove that marriage and Rolex ownership are not mutually exclusive.

Can't beat the self gifting thing. Otherwise Simpsons socks and bars of chocolates are all I would get.

I introduced my then fiancee (now wife) to the wonderful world of Rolex. She was instantly hooked. It doubled the cost but eliminated the guilt.

I introduced my wife to the world of Raymond Weil.

That saved me a lot of moolah.

thanks everyone, good to see such an active community.

btw, i am also acurazine, bimmerboard and a few other IT network security forums.

yes i still have as much as the plastic as possible and it has yet to get wet from rain. well sweat from my arms a bit.

I literally wear the watch everyday even with a T shirt and jeans. i love it because its not too flashy but also because everyone who knows watches can recogonize a daytona a mile away.

If anyof you guys watch Entourage on hbo, E wears the watch as well as Steve Matchet of on Speed channels Formula 1 commentator.

Joe
