Surprise Addition - Daytona
I've been thinking about adding a PM Daytona for a while now.
There have been quite a few posts lately. So yesterday, I walked into my local AD and talked to them about my collection and the direction I was headed. That a PM Daytona would be a logical addition. After talking through my "strategy" for a bit, my AD said "wait a second, I'll be right back." I never thought I'd hear that phrase! Out comes a rose gold daytona ... which was quite a nice piece. After a bit more conversation, another "wait a second" Out comes a white gold daytona on oysterflex bracelet. I had actually been talking about the same watch but in rose gold. However once I saw this one in person, it was a clear winner. Pictures are below :) In person, this time piece has quite a bit of wrist presence. This is another example of how much relationships matter, I've been shopping there for a few years now.

Well that is a major score. Clearly your AD knows you are a wearer and genuine in your decision making process. That speaks volumes in showing you are thinking long term in your collection.

It appears more and more pieces are magically coming out of the AD’s safes. A pleasant trend.

I am also a Daytona guy and a Porsche guy. I am assuming that you own a 718 GT4 because I have the same book and I did not buy it. Porsche sent it to me about a month after I purchased my GT4.
